clean up to start the new year 🎉

After @andrewjswan and others made so many new features, it was time to clean up the repo.

So in this release you get all the functionality of 2023.9.1 but a hopefully cleaner documentation.

If you are coming from another version then 2023.9.1 you will find plenty of breaking changes, be prepared.

Have fun and a happy new year. 🎉
