Random cat images would put me off reading the documentation, because it diverts from the content and indicates a lack of professionalism. Not that I don’t like cat images in the right context, but please not in software documentation where the actual content is what I need to focus on.

Appropriately, because OP is describing a hobby project. Perhaps you could pay them for a version without cat pictures.

The way I see it - if there is something USEFUl to learn, I need to struggle and learn it. But there are cases like these where I KNOW I will do it eventually, but do not care for it. There is nothing to learn. That's where I use them.
I personally still prefer the oldschool way, the slower way - I write the code, I document it, I add examples, then if I feel like it I add random cat images to the documentation to make it appear less boring, so people also read things.
