Some projects such as user applications should include examples of usage varying of the complexity from a simple "Hello world"-esque example to a real-life example that the developer uses.

This gives a quick introduction to the tool as well as subtly giving hints about what you can do with the program.
|
|
Examples include the manual pages from [[https://www.freebsd.org/][the FreeBSD project]] where each tool is given a dedicated section for example usage.

Another that stuck out to me is the README of [[https://github.com/naelstrof/maim/tree/b1b28fcb0c3a44e699fd879189316440b7edff22][maim]], a screenshot capture tool, where one of the examples demonstrate that you can pipe binary output which leads to useful things such as [[https://github.com/naelstrof/maim/tree/b1b28fcb0c3a44e699fd879189316440b7edff22][OCR selection]] or a colorpicker.

This is not only useful for software documentation, it is also useful for technical writings.

This makes it easier to skim (see [[file:2021-04-05-12-43-36.org][Speedreading is all about skimming well]]) and to [[file:2021-04-06-22-25-17.org][Learn more with referencing with a bit of remembering]].
