Background: I’m writing a few basic tutorials on implementing popular mobile app features. I know what I like in a guide, but…confirmation bias is a thing.
Specific version numbers of everything used and a very clear date the article was written. A message to deprecate it when it's out of date too. This is especially important if the article targets an alpha (eg an API may change and the article becomes redundant).
