Merging this now. Comments / suggestions still welcome!

this update is fine for me

This looks good! Should we also add a section named "Guides" as we move along? This could contain small tutorial(s) on how to use the package.

My suggestion would be that as we add functionality, we make sure to add good docstrings (in some cases with Examples sections at the end, so that over time our API docs become nice: https://hips.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html

For high-level, tutorial-style docs, as we develop functionality, we fill this page: https://hips.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html

And then if we have developed a lot of functionality and the single getting started page gets too long, we have a conversation about our docs and refactor it into a larger set of pages.

That said, @adl1995 - of course suggestions / pull requests are welcome any time! Just in case it's something larger that you'd have in mind (i.e. that would take a day or more to write up), please make an issue proposing / outlining the addition or change before implementing it.
