I don't have much to add other than to compliment the README. At least it shows some concern about documenting the higher level architecture... I get discouraged of contributing to open source due to the laziness of basically having to reverse engineer the code

This used to be pretty standard but has largely gone away, unfortunately.

I blame frameworks that encourage the user to just use their "obvious" specific directory structure that works for 80% but people still make up the other 20%

And no need for documentation, since is "obvious" [...to anyone who has invested dozens of hours working with that specific framework]

Came here to appreciate the "Project Structure" section - https://github.com/andrearaponi/dito?tab=readme-ov-file#proj.... Very few projects care about it, as far as I have seen.

LLMs are quite capable at generating such overviews. mutable.ai generated one for a project I co-develop, and it was pretty neat for a v1 (they are on a much improved v2 now): https://mutable.ai/celzero/firestack
