Feat/landing page refresh

[tippi-fifestarr]

Summary

Transforms the documentation landing page from a list of jargon into clear value propositions, and reorganizes content to prioritize what developers need most.

Key Changes

1. One-liners that explain value - Augmented links and jargon with brief descriptions of what each feature actually does:

• "Randomness" → "Verifiable random numbers for fair games, lotteries, & drops."
• "Keyless Accounts" → "Onboard users and sign without wallets or seed phrases"
• "Query On-Chain Data (Indexer)" → explains it's GraphQL for balances, transactions, NFTs

2. Reorganized from 4 boxes to 6 boxes - Better content hierarchy addressing user feedback that developers "don't know where to go":

• Getting Started (new, top-left) - Clear first steps
• Tools - Moved AI Chatbot to top, highlighting AI-first developer experience
• Smart Contracts (new) - Dedicated space for Move learning resources
• On-Chain Features - Reordered to lead with Sponsored Transactions
• Resources + Connect remain

3. Highlighted AI tooling:

• MCP (AI coding assistant) with full description made prominent
• AskAptos AI Chatbot moved to top of Tools
• Added Vibe Code interactive tutorial from Learn

Technical: Added star and pencil icons to astro.config.mjs, hero buttons use down-arrow, added id="getting-started" anchor.

All changes consistently applied across English, Spanish, and Chinese versions.

Hey @tippi-fifestarr! We need to do something about the formatting here. The additional context for these links might be helpful (and possibly contribute to homepage SEO), however the font size and line height creates way too much cognitive load on the page for this component in it's current form, as <LinkList> wasn't designed to be used in this way:

Also, anytime we have "NEW!" - it should never be inlined as part of the text content for the item - but rather used as a badge like this: https://starlight.astro.build/components/badges/ - however this component might also need to be updated to allow for this.

I would say this PR bleeds into design system conversation / component architecture to provide a better UX for a change like this.

Hey @moonclavedev, great feedback - I totally agree! I plan on spending some more time on this next week to improve the formatting even more.

That being said, this change addresses a couple issues I've seen in user testing (namely, people not being able to find the "Your First Move Module", and people not knowing what the Aptos jargon means). From the user testing I've done, new users have a much easier time finding the right link now (they do end up doing a bit of reading) instead of glancing at it and then clicking around in the sidebar.

Would it be alright to take improving the formatting as a follow up item?

• Line height / spacing / text size
• Badges
• Design system conversation / component architecture

The next couple weeks I'm also working on the the Getting Started page, and want to be pulling that into the landing page and out of Guides.
