# Documentation and Developer Experience Overhaul

We’ve made major improvements to our documentation and developer experience to help you find resources faster and better understand how to use Roboflow’s tools:

**Enhanced Documentation and New Resources**

* **Updated Inference README**: Now highlights core value propositions and workflows for easier reference.
* **New Code Snippets**: Examples now feature workflows to showcase best practices.
* **API Key Usage Explained**: Clearer guidelines on when an API key is required.
* **Hosted Compute Offerings**: Added detailed descriptions of available compute services.
* **Expanded Installation Guides**: Platform-specific setup instructions for a smoother onboarding experience.
* **Licensing Clarifications**: Simplified and clarified terms.

**New Public Workflows**

* Explore cloud-hosted workflows without needing an API key. Public workflows let developers try out examples before creating a Roboflow account.

**Improved Documentation Infrastructure**

* **New Landing Page**: A better-organized starting point with dedicated sections for Models, Workflows, Reference, and Cookbooks.
* **Streamlined Navigation**:
  * Fixed top-level navigation for easier browsing, especially on mobile.
  * Reorganized pages to prioritize installation instructions and logical content flow.
  * Updated side navigation to ensure every page is connected and easy to access.

**Expanded Reference Docs**

* Added new reference guides for SDK and CLI to complement existing inference pip package documentation.

**Performance and Usability Enhancements**

* **Faster Navigation**: Instant client-side browsing with pre-loaded links for a snappier experience.
* **Hover Previews**: Wikipedia-style previews on internal links for better context before clicking.
* **Improved Search**: More relevant search results with better filtering.
* **Updated Design**: Refreshed icons, fonts, and colors for a more polished look.

These changes make it easier than ever to explore our documentation, improve workflow comprehension, and navigate resources efficiently.
