Adaptation ideas
What to apply to your own product
- Put the product's core use and audience near the opening.
- Make installation, first use and deeper documentation easy to distinguish.
- Link each support route to a clear next action.
Tradeoff to consider
A repository README is optimized for project discovery and setup; buyers may still need a separate product page for commercial terms and audience fit.
Starting route
Start with the What is this? section, then follow the linked setup or documentation route.
