Description

  • Include an example of the most common errors that you'd get
    • Incorrect types being most common
  • Screenshots of what the error output looks like (even if only to have as an easily-linked selling point)
  • A section on any built-in error combinators (like how doobie has attemptSomeSql and so on)
  • A tiny overview of the common cats methods that you'd use (especially since cats lacks in-depth error handling docs)

Research direction

Review the repository's existing documentation structure and the error-handling behavior for incorrect types. Cover common errors, representative output screenshots, built-in error combinators, and a concise overview of the relevant Cats methods; done means the page addresses each requested topic with usable examples.
