docs: cleanup readme and use standard conventions (#1844)

- Local dev setup guide is now a numbered list, and uses fences instead of dollar signs (fixes MD014)
- The "Please note" for next.config now uses the GFM note block
- Added actual alt text to screenshots, instead of just "Screenshot date"
- Removed plausible link that leads to a 404

Most things on the homepage are cards, modular components that can easily be added and removed according to relevancy to Hack Clubbers. There are 3 main sections: connection, open-source, and IRL community. Most new cards will likely fall within the first two sections!
First, you can create a new file under [components/index/cards](components/index/cards/) with the name of your new event/project. Next add `import CardModel from './card-model'` and add whatever you want :) Finally, use a <Buttons> component (`import Buttons from './button'`) to highlight call-to-action buttons. If it's the main button, use the primary prop to add a background color!
