[ENG-8954][docs] EAS Update: add pitch and revamp intro page (expo#23095
) # Why When I ask GPT what the advantages between EAS Update vs our competitors are and to talk about the tradeoffs, it lists some reasons that are no longer true. This signals to me that there is outdated information in our community and our pitch should aim to clarify these, in addition to talking about the value propositions of the product. # How The pitch is meant to be a succinct 3-5 point blurb on why people should use EAS Update. Here are the reasons why I chose each of the points: 1. Improve User Experience: the main value proposition of our product 2. Broad Compatibility: people think that you are 'locked in' to the expo ecosystem if you use EAS Update, or that you cannot use EAS Update if you have a bare RN app. 3. Tailored for Expo: explain that you do get extra value if you do use other services like EAS Build, and what exactly those benefits are. 4. Customizable Update Strategies: GPT implies that EAS Update doesnt give the user fined grained control via an API, which is not true (asked over multiple prompts). We may need to do a better job of linking our API/config in our docs so folks know they can create a custom update strategy. This PR also shortens the boxlink list to the main usecases of EAS Update and the get started guide, in order to keep things brief. # Test Plan <!-- Please describe how you tested this change and how a reviewer could reproduce your test, especially if this PR does not include automated tests!
