I've been following the twinBASIC journey for a number of years and as it's nearing v1 so I thought I'd give it another go. I think the last time I used it, it was a VSCode Ext, but now it is an EXE. One push for this was the twinBASIC Monthly Challenge #1 Self-Contained Diagnostic Tool. I downloaded the latest Release from GitHub and started trying it out.

I was already a member of the Discord Server but if you aren't already, please join.

I had a couple of questions on how the IDE worked and since these weren't answered by the docs, at the moment, I thought I can't be the only one who might ask so why don't I contribute to them to help others!

Alongside this I added/updated some of the Just The Docs config #30 to make it easier for others to contribute.

I added the twinBASIC Monthly Challenge #1 for better visibility and a historic item if people arrive to it late and still want a go. The subsequent ones can be added each month.

There are some legacy videos #34 on @twinBASIC YouTube channel which would be useful to accompany the docs too.

The IDE Tour #25 and Controls #23 sections will probably take a while to produce but I might just get the boiler plate pages built so others can contribute too. Also if there is a way to autogenerate all the Properties/Methods etc like docfx does that would save some work.
