Comment (by dkg):

 A few more usability improvements that would be good (but i don't know
 enough of the publishing platform to do confidently myself):

  * set off "install gpg" section in a distinct box -- this is a "one-time"
 operation, while we expect the other two top-level steps to be repeated on
 each verification.

  * add "platform" icons to the platform-specific steps. that is, a little
 embedded windows logo next to "for Windows users", etc.

  * little graphics for getting to a terminal window on the proprietary
 platforms -- it could be as simple as the icon for `cmd.exe` for Windows
 and the icon for Terminal.app on macOS.  Or if you want to get
 complicated/fancy, a miniature screenshot or animations of getting to the
 terminal by mouse on those platforms.
