Missing proper 'Get started' docs

Library Affected:

Browser & Platform:
All

Issue or Feature Request Description:
Sort of a feature request: the README points to workbox/guides/get-started which redirects to workbox/the-ways-of-workbox which begins with a rather esoteric discussion about generateSW and injectManifest. Even in the main landing page for Workbox it's unclear where to start. The closest thing to an entry point seems to be the paragraph mentioning workbox-cli but there is simply no page guiding a user into installing and integrating Workbox into their framework.

The following paragraph should probably be at the top:

If you're looking for the lowest possible barrier to entry with Workbox, the CLI is for you:

npm install workbox-cli --save-dev

To start using the CLI, run the wizard with npx workbox wizard.

Hi, @kwikwag, thanks for the report!

PRs are always welcome, though they probably won't be merged anytime soon. It looks like there isn't anyone with write access left on the team: the last commit was 7 months ago. All we can really do right now is wait.🤷

Hi there,

Workbox is moving to a new engineering team within Google. As part of this move, we're declaring a partial bug bankruptcy to allow the new team to start fresh. We realize this isn't optimal, but realistically, this is the only way we see it working. For transparency, here're the criteria we applied:

• For PRs, we closed everything that doesn't target the current v7 branch.
• For Issues, we closed everything that was created before 2024.

Thanks, and we hope for your understanding!
The Workbox team
