Research direction

Start by reviewing the current tutorials and the Unison onboarding site at https://share.unison-lang.org/. Identify a small set of representative TL project introductions and outline the UX and information architecture needed for them. Done means the project has an agreed, concrete onboarding scope rather than only a general proposal.

Description

Folks have observed that Unison has an excellent site for helping folks get started with the language, under https://share.unison-lang.org/

At least in principle, it would be great if we had something similar: some paint-by-numbers introductions that go beyond the current tutorials and ease the path of getting oneself started with TL projects.

This is a fairly tall order, not least because there are so many different kinds of potential TL projects: there's probably no one-size-fits-all starting points. But a few solid examples might be really helpful.

(Note that this isn't just a code-plus-text project: well-thought-out UX and information architecture are likely to also matter.)
