Create a Quick Start Guide

[elijah-potter]

Much to my surprise, yesterday Harper was featured on console.dev. While I appreciate their praise, they informed us that our lack of a quick start guide is a major turn-off for many people.

I am proposing that we unify the somewhat disparate installation instructions and guides found throughout the repository into a single "Quick Start Guide", accessible from the README.

We would want to include instructions for the following editors/package managers:

• Neovim with Mason
• Neovim with external package manager
  • pacman
  • cargo
  • ...
• Zed
• Helix
• Emacs
• Visual Studio Code
• Obsidian

The format of this quick start guide up to whoever picks up the ticket, but I'd inclined towards either a QUICKSTART.md file or a page on the website.

This is fantastic. I'm considering setting up a Wiki page for miscellaneous configurations that people can copy/paste from. Would it be alright if I included yours?

Quick start guide could link to common configurations from community.

Is there a way to use Harper in Firefox or anything like that? Or any plans for that (similar to LanguageTool)
