There are some older screenshots in the Hyperbole Manual.  We hope to
update these this week and maybe some will make their way to the Hyperbole
home page.

We would like to do a video demo but do not presently have the time.  If
someone would like to volunteer to work on that, we could interface with
you on it and send feedback.

It’s pretty hard for me fully appreciate what hyperbole does.

Of course Hyperbole can never be fully appreciated; that is why it is
called Hyperbole :-)  Even as its author, I still find useful capabilities
that I wrote long ago and had forgotten about.  We are expanding the
documentation which is extensive already but not complete.  {C-h h d d}
give you a demo of some quickly useful features.  {C-h i d m hyperbole RET}
lets you browse the manual with some images embedded.  Reading key parts of
this will give you a much better idea of what you can do with it.  There
are also HTML and PDF versions in the hyperbole-5.12/man/ directory.

There is also the project homepage.  If it is unclear on anything, please
let us know:

     https://www.gnu.org/software/hyperbole/

All that said, we want to make it accessible so go explore and generate a
set of questions and then we will see how best to answer them.
