Poem
Hopping through docs with nimble delight,
I tidied the README all through the night.
With logos and guides and setup anew,
Now Zero’s instructions are clear for you!
🥕✨
Just follow each step and soon you shall see,
A project well-started—by rabbit and thee!

@Malayt04 you can also add about twilio, dont want to make another pr just for this, if you can update
@rohhann12 Yeah makes sense. Will modify it
@aialok only the env vars that are necessary for running the project locally are mentioned in the table. Will surely write about the installation without docker. Thanks for the feedback.
