Problem
The hatches API landing page is very sparse and I think some folks landing on this page are probably trying to find the list of supported hatches.

Suggested improvement
Minimally, I think the API reference should link/refer to the example gallery reference, but I also think maybe the first image from the gallery reference should be embedded at the top of the API reference page (via the .. plot:: path/to/image directive)

This is the file that would be changed in addressing this issue:
