I paid people to try and follow my README

Re:I paid people to try and follow my README by rapnie on Sunday October 11, 2026 @09:19AM (#50043039)

I know there are some great README's (and other documents) around, that document best-practices or templates for great README's. I found one that looked very useful and would've sworn I starred the repo to find it again in time of need. Alas, can't find it. Anyone has some good resources to point to, to add to this thread?

Update: Found some related HN threads (omitted link-rotted submissions).
