    Project CRANE (Crisis Racism and Narrative Evaluation) aims to support researchers and anti-racist organisations that wish to use state-of-the-art text analysis algorithms to study how specific events impact online hate speech and racist narratives. CRANE Toolbox is a Python package: once installed, the tools in CRANE are available as functions that users can use in their Python programs or directly through their terminal. CRANE targets users with basic programming but no machine learning skills

  • Do you know some of your users? They might be the ones to ask for help on your project description. Also, for feedback, as a user of open-source projects I don't usually volunteer detailed feedback. If I have a problem or need a new feature I might fill in an issue, but sometimes if there are no guidelines on how to report/request things I feel like my feedback wouldn't be welcome. So maybe add guidelines for that in the FAQ section? Doesn't have to be complex, just an invitation for people to communicate with you through issues, saying you welcome support requests and/or feature requests if you do. Issue templates might be useful too. (An example of mine for inspiration) And if you have specific points you want users to give feedback on, don't hesitate to add a message redirecting to a dedicated issue in your Readme.
