Simplify quickstart page structure and reduce complexity

[mintlify-development]

Summary

Streamlined the quickstart page to reduce cognitive load and get users to their first successful edit faster. The page went from 145 lines to 36 lines (75% reduction) while maintaining all essential functionality.

Changes made

• Removed conceptual "Before you begin" section - Eliminated docs-as-code explanation that slowed down the getting started flow
• Streamlined deployment section - Consolidated deployment and site viewing into 3 simple numbered steps
• Focused on web editor only - Removed CLI/web editor tabs to eliminate choice paralysis and setup complexity
• Simplified editing process - Reduced from 5 detailed steps to 4 simple numbered steps
• Focused next steps - Cut from 3 next step cards down to 1 most important action (custom domain)

Rationale

The original quickstart had multiple sections and options that could overwhelm new users. This streamlined version follows the Mintlify principle of "just enough docs to solve users' needs and get them back to the product quickly."

Test plan

• Verified all links are functional
• Confirmed frontmatter is properly formatted
• Ensured code examples are valid MDX
• Maintained consistent voice and formatting with existing docs

Note

Rewrites quickstart.mdx to a shorter, step-driven guide focused on the web editor.

• Replaces multi-section, component-heavy content (AccordionGroup, Tabs, Frame, Tip, CLI steps) with concise numbered steps for deploy and first edit
• Consolidates deployment into 3 steps and editing into 4 steps with a minimal MDX example
• Removes screenshots and optional flows; prioritizes web editor over CLI
• Trims “Next steps” to a single custom domain card
