As someone developing a Javascript library, this a thousand times.

At some point I thought my library was easy to use and reasonably well documented for a very early stage library. Then I sat down at a little hack day with people trying to use it answering question over question about all those details that I had just assumed people would magically know, at the same time I though about for each of those questions there could have been hundreds of those that tried to use the library without me sitting next to them and gave up.

If I could get this type of feedback from every use, it would be amazing.

Writing this I remember at some point for an old startup I used http://feedbackarmy.com/ to have people run through the getting started tutorial for my app.

When I get to release and am happy with the state of the documentation I will likely try the same thing.
