Who reads README's anyway? Aren't they like instruction manuals? You only read them once its broken? :) Or maybe i should start reading instruction manuals..
it's the very first thing you see when you visit any project's github page.
Nice! I can say i read important readme’s then :)
Bless you!
Lots of projects are on GitHub or similar repositories and the landing page is usually the readme file as rendered markdown.
I appreciate your joke, I totally got if.
Mainly because my dad would do exactly that if he ever had to use github lol. I grew up watching him literally throw manuals aside, only to have me or my sister bring them back when he screwed up lol.
