📖 README Template Generator
Build a polished README.md with project details, optional sections, badges, and style presets.
Why it is useful
It helps developers publish clearer setup, usage, testing, and contribution docs without starting from a blank page.
How it works
The browser assembles Markdown from your project fields, selected sections, and style preset.
Best input
Use real install commands and features. Toggle only the sections your project needs.
Repo tip
Verify every command in a fresh checkout before publishing.
Privacy note
README drafting happens locally in your browser.
Important limitation
Generated docs can mislead if commands or status are not verified.
Quick answers
Can I publish generated text directly?
Review and test the instructions first.
What do style presets change?
