Open tony opened this issue 8 months ago • 2 comments

This commit overhauls the README to make it more skimmable and immediately valuable to new users:

  • Add clear value proposition at the top to immediately communicate purpose and benefits
  • Create 'Why Use libvcs?' section with emoji-highlighted bullet points for key features
  • Reorganize examples into 'Quick Examples' section that appears earlier in the document
  • Add helpful comments to doctests to explain their purpose
  • Restructure content with improved headings, spacing, and visual separators
  • Convert the 'Core Features' section to a numbered list for better hierarchy
  • Create dedicated 'Documentation & Resources' and 'API References' sections
  • Streamline the entire document for better discoverability and readability
  • Keep all doctests functional (4 passing tests, up from 3 previously)

The goal is to make the value of libvcs immediately apparent to new visitors while maintaining a clean document structure that's easy to navigate.
