If pictures or a hand-drawn look is more your thing, Julia Evan's work is very accessible. She sells zines like "Bite Size Command Line!" https://jvns.ca/blog/2018/08/05/new-zine--bite-size-command-... but also posts a lot of the content on Twitter too: e.g. https://twitter.com/i/moments/1026078161115729920

(I actually made a proof-of-concept tool called 0rk which displays the images in the terminal https://github.com/follower/0rk so you don't even have to leave your terminal to look something up.)

There's also the TLDR pages project which aims to create "Simplified and community-driven man pages" with practical examples which looks like a helpful approach: https://tldr.sh/

Not sure if any of the TLDR clients already do this but it just occurred to me it'd be cool to be able to view an example and then edit it directly...
