Improve onboarding clarity: missing quick-start path for new users #20

Description

Description

Webwright is powerful, but the current documentation feels hard to approach for first-time users.

Right now, users are exposed to:

  • architecture details
  • plugin systems (Claude Code / Codex)
  • evaluation benchmarks
  • internal design explanations

before getting a simple “run this in 5 minutes” path.

This makes it difficult to understand:

  • how to start using Webwright quickly
  • what the minimal working setup looks like
  • what the expected output should be after installation

Problem

  • No clear “Quick Start” section at the top

  • Installation steps are scattered across multiple sections

  • First-time users may not know:

    • what command to run first
    • what success looks like
  • Docs mix research explanation + usage instructions, which increases cognitive load


Suggested improvement

Add a dedicated Quick Start (Minimal Example) section near the top:

It should include:

  • 1 install command
  • 1 example task run
  • expected output (screenshots/logs or description)

Example structure:

  • Install dependencies
  • Run sample task
  • View result folder / output

Why this matters

  • Helps students / new contributors adopt faster
  • Reduces setup confusion
  • Improves repo accessibility without changing core design
  • Makes the project more “plug-and-play”
