I had a moment of inspiration and created #ggg take a look (still #experimental #foss software)

ggg: #guile #scheme #glyph #generator

https://codeberg.org/jjba23/ggg

Through #svg generation from #lisp we leverage a (wip) #dsl and apply some #math knowledge to build pixel perfect project #markdown / #org badges.

It also scripts #imagemagick to export to #png or #webp .

You can then use the svgs in your #codeberg (or #github) repository #readme for example.

I provide a #guix manifest in the repo

Im neuen #readme.txt berichtet Annika Wienert vom #DHIWarschau in einem Kurzinterview über die Ausstellung "Allmachtsphantasien", die Arbeit am Ausstellungskatalog und den Zusammenhang zwischen Architektur und Besatzung in Polen während des Zweiten Weltkrieges.

In the spirit of inclusive design, I recently learned that it is better to remove hard line breaks from READMEs.

This advice was news to me, so I've written it down to share:

Am I the only one who gets annoyed when when a project's README looks like this? No example code. No CLI synopsis. No in-depth description or explaination. No screenshots or videos/gifs. Just a short summary and a link to the website or maybe the API documentation. Please don't force me to dig deeper just to figure out what your project does or how to use it.

How do you capitalize your readme file names?

#libobscura is going through the final crunch... I mean, touches, before release.

I just realized the project page and the #readme are like continuous announcement posts. For some people, it's going to be the first contact with your work, so tell them;

- are they the intended audience?
- how do they benefit from this?
- where is the project going?
- how far along is it?
- how to try it out?

/me goes back to rewriting

[SOLVED] I am pretty sure I've seen somebody updating a README.md file by #Python snippets in the comments of that very #README.
I think they did it for their #GitHub profile page.
But I cannot find that, now when I need it. Please help.

What are people's preferences for adding screenshots to a GitHub README? PNG vs. SVG? List them vertically or group them into a table?
