Redwood: Improve final "success" output during CRWA installation (low priority)

The final output could be better:

  • current color always makes me think it's an error
  • it's mashed together and hard to parse

Ways to improve:

  • change color to something that implies "Success!"
  • add some margin (left and bottom) to make block easier to visually scan; would be rad if we could space evenly or maybe put links on line following CTAs with indent (only so much possible on CLI)
  • also, we now have a Discord "vanity" URL: https://discord.gg/redwoodjs

Additional ways to improve:

  • can we make this more personal/fun --> especially as an invitation to join as a contributor 🤔
  • add links to twitter or GH star
good first issue help wanted cli create-redwood-app

Work in progress, but something like this @thedavidprice @mojombo?

Edit: Added another example with some left margins, alternative text and one more section. Maybe looks too bloated.

Can we also list the Discourse site first while we're at it?

@jeliasson That's awesome!

This is excellent! My choice is Example 2 — the layout and coloring work well and support having three sections.

Thanks and good edit suggestions! 👍
While we get some more feedback, I have made the changes and created a PR with the current implementation (#1195)

Moving over questions to PR for clarity.
