What's the thinking behind changing this? (and above ☝️ )

Not against it -- just curious!

Just figured it would better signal that this was a smaller quick start. You are literally doing a hello-world and not a full site. Not a necessary part of the change!

We use the Quick Start as a jumping off point for other docs, including the manual recipes section: https://gatsbyjs.org/docs/recipes/

It would be good to consider those use cases in addition to a standalone Quick Start exercise. But I'd defer to @AishaBlake!

Good point! Best as I can tell, the recipe at docs/recipes/working-with-plugins.md would need to be updated.

Many of them list "A Gatsby site" as a prerequisite, and they link to the Quick Start. Likely in other parts of the docs, too.

I think that's phraseology? I don't see that being confusing after this change?

Got it. I think leaving the new working directory name as is is probably fine and not essential to this test. If we find it's successful and that it would be a useful long term change, we update the directory name here and the name in the links in the current manual recipes section.

As best I can tell, none of the recipes are dependent on having the default starter from the Quick Start so this shouldn't affect users going through those.
