Patterns and sections
## User Installation
Provides a named route into setup or a first working use of the project.
## Getting Started with development
Provides a named route into setup or a first working use of the project.
## Why Are We Building This?
Gives the README a dedicated ## why are we building this? section, making this topic discoverable from the project entry page.
Section labels refer to the reviewed public source. Visual design and mobile behavior of the external page were not evaluated.
Adaptation ideas
What to apply to your own product
- Name the primary user outcome before listing implementation details, then route readers to the exact setup or reference section.
- Separate trying the project, deploying it and contributing so each audience can choose a clear next step.
Tradeoff to consider
A repository README provides a compact public entry point, but it cannot replace current product documentation or a guided in-product setup.
Starting route
Start with the README's ## User Installation section, then follow its linked documentation before adopting a comparable structure.
