Wow Turing Scholars! you guys are like the navy seals of CS at UT lol. Yes I appreciate the insight and will actually hand write it (and copy some parts of this post, but it is a bit too goofy to just use the post straight up). One thing you mentioned, I've never heard of Readmes including a history of the project, because I thought Readmes were like a small intro doc with a bunch of hyper links only.

For example, I looked at the these two Readmes: https://github.com/rybbit-io/rybbit/blob/master/README.md <-- this one is lovely https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/README.md

Both include pictures, features, ect, but not really histories, unless I'm understanding your comment incorrectly.
