The new docs has been a cumulative effort between the team (s/o @toby_solutions) to teach Million.js the right way.
One of the biggest complaints we've gotten is that the docs aren't super helpful, so we've added interactive code examples via @codesandbox's Sandpack!

what is the 3-year-out future of @milliondotjs? i think:
worst case: slowly into the abyss of github, an experimental project that failed to materialize
best case: absorbed or fostered by a big js framework company / organization. million continues to live
A new docs site has spawned! 🌟 million.dev
Introducing the new @milliondotjs docs – a fresh, fun, and interactive take on the previous documentation.
