Notes

A README is not a manual for people who already care; it is the front door for people deciding whether to care. In thirty seconds, a stranger should understand what the project does, who it is for, why it exists, and what the fastest next step is. The goal is not to prove everything. The goal is to earn enough trust that someone keeps reading, tries the project, or decides it is not for them without wasting time.
