You can just send a PR for this

I think it is good to discuss it first, then submit the PR based on feedback

A little feedback:

  • Expand on the Multi-Tasking support and list all available modes
  • Mention that it can be run stand-alone or as a launcher
  • Mention second-screen functionality

With the line: "Comprehensive multi-tasking support, including split-screen, floating window, and picture-in-picture modes.", I feel that is misleading as to what Smart-Dock enables the user to do as those are just options that come with Android by default. We should list the multitasking modes that SD allows the user to launch apps instead (Open In > Standard, Maximized, Portrait, Fullscreen) along with maybe a thumbnail screenshot of an app in each mode for reference

We could also highlight some of the features in the app, like the App Drawer, describing more of it's features and functions. The Taskbar, and the notification drawer as well

i will look into this

We could split the effort into a few separate changes too. One for the main wording, and another with the image assets and deeper dive into the options in Settings.

Remove the picture in picture mode part as well as the second screen feature, we're not there yet. Feel free to send a PR any time and thank you for your contribution :)
