Improving explanation of the --uncoded flag in the docs

[EnricoBenedetti]

Hello, I am trying out this program and I am finding it quite refreshing coming from NVIVO.
However, I got confused when I typed qc code -1 enrico or qc code -1 --pattern [pattern] enrico, or qc code --random enrico, the behavior was different than what I read on here: https://qualitative-coding.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manuscript.html#code. From the text, I thought that the default behaviour of --first etc were to open an uncoded file. When I typed qc code --help I understood that an additional flag -u is needed.

Since this may confuse other new users of qc (and especially users not familiar with CLI tools), my suggestion would be to update the documentation explaning the need of the --uncoded (or -u) flag, or to make it more clear that more options are available.

Hi Enrico, thank you for trying out QC, and thanks for the suggestion. It makes perfect sense and I will update the documentation shortly.

I would love to hear about your experience with QC in the future, as well as your ideas for future developments,— the intended user is a moving target, as there are so many different forms of qualitative data analysis— and I think our goal ought to be transformative rather than just replicating existing practices anyway.

Hi cproctor, I will try to write some feedback, once I try it out for more use cases!
Thank you for your reply :)
