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 Using Jitsi Meet section, then follow its linked documentation before adopting a comparable structure.
