Writing a great, clear, easy to read README
can go a long way in helping us to use your Widget
. If your Widget
makes use of Public Environment Variables
, make sure to give examples, and clear usage instructions.
Images are supported, but make sure it is hosted elsewhere from a reliable link. We don't want any broken images!.
Clearly explain:
- What the
Widget
does - What problem is it trying to solve
- What value does it give to the user
- Example
Public Environment Variables
(if any) - Instructions on how to use it. E.g. If the user needs to obtain a API Key
- Limitations if any
Use headings
(#
, ##
and ###
etc) to structure the document to make it easier to read!
