I bought the book "D Web Development".
I understand only 20% of the book,the other 80% is way above my 
head.
Compare, I own a book on flask development, and I understand 100% 
of it.
Which means I can use dlang for anything except QT and serious 
web development ...

Could you explain some of the things that you found particularly 
challenging about the book?   What level of D proficiency did you 
have before you started with the book?

How would you like this to be improved? I'm personally interested 
in making vibe.d more accessible.

It's not my related to a lack of knowledge of the d-language but 
the complexity of the vibe.d framework itself.
What I understand are :
1: jade/diet .dt templates, inheritance,includes,markdown.
2: A simple form with POST method.
Then it stops.
What I find too complex:
- Sessions, session data , session variables
- Handler functions and delegates, compile-time reflection, 
prefixes, annotation.
- Authentication
- Validating user input
This can be improved by improving documentation in very small 
steps.

As comparison here a tutorial of ruby-flask which uses only small 
steps so everything can easily and completely be understood.
Something like that for vibe.d would be very interesting.

May or may not be related, but I eventually gave up on that book 
myself. It felt as if it were written for experienced web 
developers wanting to use D for things they were doing in other 
languages. It's been a long time now, though, so I don't recall 
anything specific.

Looks like Sinatra. That makes sense given the relationship of 
Crystal to Ruby. Many languages have a Sinatra-inspired 
framework, but to my knowledge not D. I think Adam Ruppe's 
libraries are closer to that approach.
