How does one come up with a good README page?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/github

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Apache AGE

    Discontinued Graph database optimized for fast analysis and real-time data processing. It is provided as an extension to PostgreSQL. [Moved to: https://github.com/apache/age]

  • As one of the managers of apache/incubator-age page, I'm trying to gather some knowledge on how to improve our README page that can attract potential stargazers. (https://github.com/apache/incubator-age is the repository in question)

  • react-native-vision-camera

    Discontinued 📸 The Camera library that sees the vision. [Moved to: https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera] (by cuvent)

  • As always, images make it more appealing to look at. I'm always using images with shadows and frames around them, (see this repo) but not sure if this will work for a database. If there is a really important core feature you could quickly highlight this in an "Overview" section with a codeblock. Other than that, try centering the header.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
