Hello!

I'm trying to integrate DuckDB into a Node.js app and I'm following the "Neo" docs. If I can share a bit of feedback as a brand new user, I think this page could use something like a "Quick Start" at the top with a trivial example of how to fetch some rows. There are a number of concepts introduced here that I'm not familiar with (e.g. chunks, "column-major" vs. "row-major"). I also don't understand the different between the Inspect Result and Result Reader sections. Is one approach recommended over the other, and if so, for what use cases?

The legacy DuckDB Node.js API docs are much easier for me to follow, FWIW.

I'd love to help with a PR but unfortunately I'm still too new. When I get my head wrapped around the basics I'll report back 😄

Thank you!
