Adaptation ideas

What to apply to your own product

  1. Explain the product and intended user near the top of the page.
  2. Place a working first step before optional advanced details.
  3. Link each support and documentation route to a useful action.

Tradeoff to consider

A repository README helps people understand and install an open-source project; commercial evaluation still needs a separate explanation of support and pricing.

Starting route

Start with the FreshRSS section, then follow the linked installation or documentation route.
