Updateing ReadMe with Getting Started section about lamby HOT 4 CLOSED

Agreed, but what about the duplication with the product site and online guides at this site https://lamby.custominktech.com ? Should we put everything there and try to drive traffic over?

Coming from the outside my experience is that the website is heavily focused on the cookiecutter.
It's a great reference point and everybody should start there, but I would suggest the ReadMe file focus more on the core Lamby gem and how you get this up and running in existing environments.

You have made a lot of decisions in the cookiecutter project that isn't clearly documented. E.g. I'm just right now trying to spin up a fresh Rails install with Lamby and are now experiencing that I need to remove the default included bootsnap gem. Documenting such things in the ReadMe directly would be beneficial for newcomers I think.

So it's not my goal to duplicate the knowledge already present on the website. Only supplementing it.

Agreed, we need it. But I do like the idea of this README pointing to the Lamby site. We could easily add a new page for upgrade concerns. Existing Rails apps have a huge surface area of what might not work. I never made a decision on Bootsnap based on evidence. This line here (https://github.com/customink/lamby-cookiecutter/blob/master/bin/_rails-new#L25) was simply because I knew I never needed it for the starter.

So yes, we need more guides, but I would really like to see a new "Upgrade" section on the site.

Going a) always push people to the Lamby site in the README and b) work on an upgrade section for the Lamby guides.
