When I want to get a quick feel for a language I've never heard of, I usually look for the Learn X in Y Minutes[0] page for it.
Shen doesn't have one. Perhaps the author and/or poster should remedy that?

It does: https://shenlanguage.org/OSM/15min.html
That page is less discoverable. From the Shen homepage, I click on Learn and hope that they have a 15 minute intro? Vs I go to Learn X in Y Minutes, Crtl+F "shen", and I immediately get what I want.
LearnXinYminutes says "Want to add your favorite language to the list? Head on over to Github[1] and send a pull request!" Right at the very bottom.
Sounds like a great opportunity for you to contribute. Especially since the work is basically already done and your main concern is discoverability.

Your personal workflow is what you are used to, not what is inherently "more discoverable."
The second option sounds way less discoverable, assuming you’re interested in learning Shen.
I went to the Shen web page, and immediately got "Learn Shen in 15 minutes". Seems obvious to me.
Not the same, but this section of the book could work as a quick intro: https://shenlanguage.org/TBoS/tbos_34.html#34;
