One other thought: do we want to include a mention of beziers here for comparison? Maybe something about why you'd want to use one or the other even if we don't explain the whole bezier API?

Maybe we can rename the file to something like into-to-splines since it's about splines in general than of the single spline() function?

| ### Advanced Spline Shapes and Customization | ||

| So far we've been drawing a single curve segment defined by four points. Now, let's explore more advanced possibilities: creating complex shapes from multiple spline segments, closing splines into continuous loops, and customizing the spline’s properties (like its tightness or endpoint handling) to achieve different effects. |

I almost wonder if we should start with beginShape/endShape right after showing a single spline() as the main thing in the tutorial, since I imagine drawing bigger curves and smooth closed curves is a more common use than getting points/tangents along a single segment.
How do you feel about moving this + the closed loop bit up, giving them their own headings (e.g. "Spline Shapes" and "Closed Spline Loops" or something like that?) and then including splinePoint/splineTangent under the advanced section?

cool thumbnail for the article btw! |

This is a WIP PR and will try to complete it as soon as possible.
