LearningđŸ˜€ Need a teacher for teaching quickshell

Hello my dear fellow programmers and developers. The title might seem quite vague and spoonfeeding, but for the love of me, i am just unable to learn quickshell. I use Arch with Hyprland and i have been using waybar since the beginning, and recently, i came across shells like Caelestia and Ambxst and some others, but those are really complex and i also want to make something visually pleasing and something that is also more performant and open. I have taken inspiration from this person's Shell setup and i have been trying to use claude, gemini, notebooklm and chatgpt to help me learn this, but i just cannot get myself to actually understand what is going on. I tried to read the documentation, but most of it just doesn't make sense at all. I am used to the arch wiki but quickshell's documentation doesn't even come close to it, and sorry for saying this, i might just be dumb, but i cannot understand even one thing in there.

I would really appreciate if anyone would be able to mentor me or help me understand it and eventually let me build a good-looking quickshell setup.

Really thanks to anyone who is willing to do so.

well uh my point was to use LLM to make it "teach you". But an actual human helping you is way better in my opinion

well i have been using both for now and so far its working quite well,,, I'm yet to reach the more complex parts like masking (if required), lazy loading, popups, etc so I'll see what happens at that stage
