Changes

As part of PostHog/posthog#27361, update no-code experiments doc.

Mostly simplifying and streamlining things. I think there is a lot that is obvious from the UI and doesn't need to be written out.

Also a few fixes and a couple backlinks :)

Looks great, nice work! Left some suggestions inline.


The **experiment type** setting enables you to choose how your experiment is implemented. Note that once the experiment type is selected and saved, it cannot be changed.
> **What about product experiments?** [Product experiments](/docs/experiments/creating-an-experiment) use custom code to manage how variants modify your product. This option is best if you need specific, code-based adjustments and configurations.

What do you think about moving this further up, and then including a similar mention at the top of "Creating an experiment"? I think I expected to see this much earlier. It would be helpful to clearly identify the two, and where they overlap vs. differ.

I think this is fine for now because people who end up on this page are definitely looking for "no code experiments" (its in title/navbar).

We should rework this note and "creating an experiment" once no-code experiments releases from early access. Once everyone has the option to decide product vs no-code experiment, then it will be important to clarify this.

@jurajmajerik I think this is a confusing feature. We might want to review usage / drop it entirely.
