Quick start guide (#2692)

Following on from #2686, this PR replaces the introduction page with a
Quick Start guide.

Next Steps:
- Better UX around the code blocks, throughout the site. A copy button
would be great.
- Collapsible extra info on the release version and rendering an inline
component
- Maybe remove the embed

- [x] `documentation` — Changes to the documentation only[^2]


### Release Notes

- Add a quick start guide

Welcome to the developer docs for tldraw, a React library for creating whiteboards and other infinite canvas experiences. These docs are for the 2.0 version which is currently in beta.
<h2>Add a tldraw canvas to your React app in just 5 minutes.</h2>
<a className="hero__images" href="https://examples.tldraw.com">
<img src={'/images/hero_light.png'} alt="tldraw demo" className="article__image hero__light" />
<img src={'/images/hero_dark.png'} alt="tldraw demo" className="article__image hero__dark" />
</a>
The tldraw SDK provides a really simple way to craft infinite canvas experiences for the web. It's perfect for collaborative applications, productivity tools, interfacing with multi-modal AI, and more.
- 🔗 Check out the [CodeSandbox](https://codesandbox.io/s/tldraw-example-canary-2lrzmy)
- 🧑‍💻 Visit the [tldraw repo on Github](https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw)
- 💬 Join the [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/SBBEVCA4PG)
By the end of this guide you will have made something that looks like this:
## What can I do with tldraw?
<Embed className="article__embed--quickstart" src="https://vite-template-five.vercel.app/" />
You can use the [Tldraw](?) React component to embed a fully featured and extendable whiteboard in your app. See the [CodeSandbox](https://codesandbox.io/s/tldraw-example-canary-2lrzmy) for a minimal example.
For multiplayer whiteboards, you can plug the component into the [collaboration backend](/docs/collaboration) of your choice. Check out our [Yjs example](https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw-yjs-example) to see how you might use tldraw together with [Yjs](https://yjs.dev/).
Follow the steps below to make your own version of it, or [clone the repo](https://github.com/tldraw/vite-template) to skip to the end.
You can use the [Editor](?) API to create, update, and delete shapes, control the camera—or do just about anything else. You can extend tldraw with your own [custom shapes](/docs/shapes) and [custom tools](/docs/tools). You can use our [user interface](/docs/user-interface) overrides to change the contents of menus and toolbars, or else hide the UI and replace it with your own.

### Installation
If you want to go even deeper, you can use the [TldrawEditor](?) component as a more minimal engine without the default tldraw shapes or user interface.
- Set up a React project however you normally do. [We recommend Vite](https://vitejs.dev/guide/#scaffolding-your-first-vite-project).
- Install the tldraw library using this command:
```bash
npm install @tldraw/tldraw@beta
```
</li>
<li>
### Import Styles
<br />
To import fonts and CSS for tldraw:
## How do I learn tldraw?
- Create or edit a css file called `index.css`
- Copy and paste this into the file:
```CSS
@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;500;700&family=Roboto+Mono:wght@400;700&display=swap");
@import url("@tldraw/tldraw/tldraw.css");
In addition to the docs on this website, we provide [many examples](https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/tree/main/apps/examples/src/examples) in the tldraw repo that demonstrate different ways of using the tldraw library. You can view them running [here](https://examples.tldraw.com/); or else you can clone the tldraw repo and start a local development server to see them in action.
body {
font-family: "Inter";
}
```
</li>
<li>
### Render Tldraw Component
<br />
To render the Tldraw component
You can ask questions and get help on our [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/SBBEVCA4PG) channel or in our Github [issues](https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/issues).
- Import the `<Tldraw />` component from `@tldraw/tldraw`
- Import the `index.css` CSS file from earlier
- Wrap the Tldraw component in a `<div>` element with the style attribute set to: `{ position: 'fixed', inset: 0 }`
<p className="">This will render a full screen canvas:</p>
## Community
```javascript
import { Tldraw } from "@tldraw/tldraw";
import "./index.css";
