As noted in #120, our website is a bit tough to get into. So here's a "getting started" page that basically provides a basic introduction to what our project is about. Right now, in this version, it adds:

  • Overview (which is the table as suggested by @SamFritz: tool, skill, what it does, what you need, ideal for)
  • And then for each of the tools, a very short introduction and then some screenshots. To make things easier, they are just screenshots cribbed from elsewhere in the site. That way, we don't have to update them all, just the ones on the specific page when interfaces, etc. change.

We probably want to workshop specific language, so we can do so on this draft PR.

Overall good to go.

Just some language tweaks, and good on my end.

"standardized set of research derivatives: full text, network diagrams, and basic statistics on your collection" -- link that to derivatives documentation?

| ![logo](/images/notebook-logo.png) | Beginner/Intermediate | The **[Archives Unleashed Notebooks](/notebooks)** are web-based Jupyter Notebooks that can help you work with the output of the Archives Unleashed Cloud. While they are a bit difficult to install, once you have them up and running you can use your web browser to work through interactive tutorials! Explore your data through rich visualizations! | You need to install the "dependencies" for the notebooks. While you can follow instructions, it does require running commands in your "command line." This requires an intermediate level of technical knowledge. We [recommend this tutorial](https://programminghistorian.org/en/lessons/intro-to-bash). | Researchers who want to explore their web archival collections. |

"While they are a bit difficult to install" I'd strike that.

I guess with such positive feedback I will move out of review. We can always add the video later?
