Onboarding

The great getting started guide is from the Frontend developer perspective, not only talks about the import Chakra UI components and installs the dependency. In addition, it explains how to use Chakra UI with the most commonly used Reactjs bootstrapping solutions - create-react-app, Next.js and Gatsby.

It comes with getting started video as well. I prefer video tutorials to get started examples, and I can watch with 2x speed.
