There can and will be, but at this stage in the project's life, git familiarity can be assumed.

Nope! The CLI has nice syntax highlighting to show you the shortest valid prefix, so for example, right now I have something that looks like
lzrvnkxl
but the initial l is in purple, while the zrvnkxl is in grey. This means I can just use the l when referring to the change. That can be harder to demonstrate in a blog post, which can't know how to highlight this, and so often they have no highlighting.

Yes. Because it's backed by a git repo, nobody else needs to know you're using jj. Everyone can use the tool they choose.

This is such a simple UX feature that I have ended up using all the time after I switched to jj a few months back.
