The frame below runs the same code as this page, in the reader's own browser. Nothing is sent to us, and nothing is sent to you.

Pick a dark background and the text and panels follow it, so the frame stays readable on a dark page.

How it works

Project details are inserted into a Markdown section template, with optional badges and examples included only when supplied. Placeholder commands remain visible because the generator cannot know the project’s package manager.

  • Installation and usage come before API details for new users.
  • Commands remain editable rather than guessed.

Edge cases

  • A command from the wrong package manager can mislead users.
  • An empty project name produces a weak heading without inventing branding.
  • Code fences should match the language used by the documented command.
