+## Core Concepts
+
+### Tabs and Blocks
+
+- **Tabs**: Like browser tabs, these help organize your work. Create new tabs with <Kbd k="Cmd:t"/>.
+- **Blocks**: The building blocks of Wave. Each block can be a terminal, web browser, file preview, or other widget.
+- **Layout**: Blocks can be dragged, dropped, and resized to create your ideal workspace layout.
+
+### Key Features
+
+1. **Terminal Integration**
+
+   - Full terminal emulation with modern features
+   - Support for your preferred shell (bash, zsh, fish, etc.)
+   - The `wsh` command provides special integration with Wave features
+
+2. **Graphical Widgets**
+
+   - File previews (images, markdown, code with syntax highlighting)
+   - Built-in web browser
+   - System monitoring
+   - AI assistance
+
+3. **Remote Connections**
+   - Easy SSH connections with the connection button <i className="fa-sharp fa-laptop"/>
+   - WSL integration on Windows
+   - Consistent experience across local and remote sessions
+
+## Quick Start Guide
+
+1. **Open Your First Terminal**
+
+   - New Wave tabs start with a single terminal block
+   - Use it just like your regular terminal
+   - Create additional terminal blocks with <Kbd k="Cmd:n"/>
+
+2. **Try Some Basic Commands**
+
+   ```bash
+   # View a file or directory
+   wsh view ~/Documents
+
+   # Open a webpage
+   wsh web github.com
+
+   # Get AI assistance
+   wsh ai "how do I find large files in my current directory?"
+   ```
+
+3. **Customize Your Layout**
+
+   - Drag block headers to rearrange them
+   - Hover between blocks to resize them
+   - Right-click tab headers for background options
+   - Right-click block headers for block-specific options
+
+4. **Connect to Remote Machines**
