Looks pretty solid from the video, but the demo could’ve included playing a video - it’s pretty much the most important thing, IMO.
The README is also missing an “Installation” section. Probably someone will find this great enough to package in nix since it’s a Go program.
IMO, the installation instructions should be either right on the homepage or behind text that alludes to installation e.g “Installation instructions”, “Download Here”, “Get It Here”, etc. I did not expect it to be under “View Documentation”. My first thought was “No installation instructions? This probably means it’s another one of those ‘just
make installand you’re done’ programs”.Noted. I will edit the README to indicate where the installation and other instructions are.
