Thanks @laurieontech! I think there's still more detail we could add, but it could be done as part of the plugins/themes workflow. I've added your suggestions in the meantime, so hopefully we can keep this one moving along! |

Description
I hear often that people still don't understand the differences between plugins, themes, and starters, so I created this PR. It adds a few explanations in the docs as well as a new Conceptual Guide.

A good follow-up task would be to add a decision tree or flow chart to help people decide which type of code organization to use.
