Possible additions

I was excited to start using the shell, then struggled with reading the wiki. I'll describe my process and the "barriers" i hit:

• The concept of children. had to look it up in gjs.
• What's the "flow" of components, think of the lifecycle in React.
• The setup attribute - the only mention in the wiki is: "A callback function to execute on self". What is "self" in this context? when does "self" gets executed/instanciated/rendered(whatever terms appropriate).

I suppose it's a lot clearer once you know gjs but assume your readers don't know what's going on there. I'd love to learn more about this shell and translate the things i learn into more detailed wiki pages. any chance to chat with you guys to understand it better? I've worked a lot with ReactJS, OpenGL, game engines, and the above is unclear to me, so i imagine it's hard for non-programmers as well.

EDIT: My next step was to examine the personal widgets uploaded there, and couldn't understand parts of the code using the wiki.

any chance to chat with you guys

you can join our discord server, we have some active people who will help you with any question

I added explanations for setup and attribute props I'll think of a way to explain children and lifecycles later
