Summary

Refreshes the highest-value onboarding docs so the first 60 seconds land: what-is-devsy → install → quick start. The prose is direct and adverb-free, organized around the value a user gets.

  • install.mdx — leads with the one decision (Desktop vs CLI), collapses four stacked info boxes into two (Linux deps, Windows dep), adds a devsy --version verify step and a closing link into Quick Start.
  • quickstart.mdx — reframed around the outcome (add provider → start workspace → open editor), leads with the fastest CLI path, numbers the steps, and trims the long SSH/Vim section.
  • what-is-devsy.mdx — removed adverbs and tightened two sentences.

Verification

CLI surface confirmed against the codebase: devsy provider add, devsy workspace up [path], --ide values none/vscode/openvscode, and devsy --version (no version subcommand). Internal doc links resolve.

Not independently verified (carried over unchanged): release download URLs, Linux dependency package lists, and the Desktop wizard UI labels.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Reorganized installation guidance with separate Desktop and CLI paths, operating system downloads, dependency notes, and CLI verification steps.
    • Updated Quick Start to lead with CLI setup, including provider configuration, workspace examples, IDE options, and SSH access guidance.
    • Added clearer Desktop setup instructions and simplified remote editor guidance.
    • Refined product overview messaging around consistent workspaces and cost efficiency.

Focus the first-60-seconds path (what-is-devsy -> install -> quickstart)
on clear value, direct prose, and no adverbs.

- install: lead with the Desktop vs CLI choice, collapse four stacked
  info boxes into two, add a version verify step and a Next step link
- quickstart: reframe around the outcome, lead with the CLI path,
  number the steps, trim the SSH/Vim detail
- what-is-devsy: remove adverbs and tighten two sentences

CLI commands and --ide values verified against the codebase.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@skevetter, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 50 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

In `@sites/docs-devsy-sh/pages/getting-started/install.mdx`:
- Line 10: Update the opening sentence in the installation documentation to use
clear, grammatically correct wording that introduces the two available ways to
use Devsy without stating that they “work the same way.”

In `@sites/docs-devsy-sh/pages/quickstart/quickstart.mdx`:
- Around line 8-17: Update the quickstart introduction to describe all supported
connection paths, including browser-based OpenVSCode via --ide openvscode and
SSH via --ide none, rather than implying every workflow requires a local editor.
Keep the existing local-editor guidance for VS Code and JetBrains workflows, and
align the prerequisites wording with these alternatives.

- install: reword the opening to not imply the two forms 'work the same way'
- quickstart: lead with the no-local-install paths (openvscode browser,
  none/SSH) so it doesn't imply every workflow needs a local editor
