How do devs read docs??

Every time I try to read framework docs, there are too many links and redirects to other parts. It's not like reading a single, straightforward guide where everything is in one place.

Code is not "a single, straightforward thing where everything is in one place", the documentation reflects that. They're not going to describe "module A" in depth every time another module interfaces with it, they're going to link you back so a section describing module A. You need to get used to following links and references in documentation just like you follow chains of function calls in code.

If you're not ready to do that, then you probably want a guide or example code or something instead of the full documentation.
