Add examples and get-started section

[truj]

The project's scope looks promising.
The scope seems to be very similar to my own project: https://github.com/truj/midica

However I have problems to even try out MellowD.

Reasons:

• The langRef.md seems to be good as a lookup table for people who already know the language but it cannot replace a tutorial.
• The website doesn't work for me. When pressing compile, I only get "HTTP Error"

I know, issue #9 already addresses documentation but a good documentation is a lot of work, taking a lot of time.

So I suggest the following:

• add at least one simple .mlod example file (with a lot of comments explaining the source)
• add a get started section in the Readme file, covering the necessary steps how to compile an .mlod file to MIDI

I think that's not too much of work but it would enhance usibility a lot.

Hi @truj, thanks for reaching out and sharing midica, it looks very cool!

This started as a school project which I've been developing since when I get time/interest as needed for performances. More recently it has morphed into a live coding language for that purpose.

The documentation was a requirement for the project which is why it stopped getting developed after the course was finished :/ as is the issue on the website since my aws lambda student account is no longer valid.

My open source contributions have been hurting as of late, but I completely agree with your points about some quicker docs to get users off the ground. I wrote a Jupyter kernel which I use for performing and was hoping to take advantage of that for a tutorial as well. Jupyter notebooks are really great for teaching and with mybinder.org would allow for interactive in-browser try-it-online style docs without needing a server.

I don't want to get your hopes up that it will happen soon, but would like to get the project/language to the point where other people could enjoy it besides just myself and the first step to that is documentation.
