Description

@nickhendo
  1. Top-line badges
  • PyPI / package version, build (CI), license, coverage, Python compatibility, and stars. Improves trust and quick info.
  1. Supported Python & package requirements
  • Explicitly state supported Python versions (e.g., 3.10+), minimum dependencies, and OS notes (you already list platforms — make it precise).
  1. Full Quick Start (runnable)
  • Replace the abbreviated uvicorn.run(...) with a complete minimal example users can copy & run.
    • Example to include:
      • pip install
      • sample app file (complete code)
      • how to start with uvicorn (e.g., uvicorn.run(app, host="127.0.0.1", port=8000, reload=True))
  • Add a “Try it” one-liner (pipx / python -m) if applicable.
  1. Examples & Tutorials section
  • Link to an /examples folder and describe a few focused examples:
    • Minimal Hello World
    • HTMX-powered partials example
    • Template component & dataclass usage
    • Middleware example (logging, auth)
  • Short code snippets showing templating + generated type-safe dataclass components.
  1. API Reference / Docs
  • Link to generated docs (mkdocs/Sphinx/GitHub Pages) or state the doc generation command.
  • Brief table of core objects: Volt, Request, Response, route decorator, middleware decorator, template components.
  1. Configuration & Environment
  • Describe config sources (env vars, config module, file), default settings, static files config, template path.
  • Explain how to enable debug/reload and configure host/port.
  1. Deployment & Production guidance
  • Recommended ASGI servers (uvicorn, hypercorn), config tips (workers, lifespans), and basic Gunicorn + Uvicorn worker sample.
  • Docker example (minimal Dockerfile + recommended health checks).
  • Notes about running behind a reverse proxy, HTTPS termination, and static assets.
  1. Performance / Benchmarks
  • If “lightning-fast” is a selling point, add micro-benchmarks vs. baseline or a link to a benchmark suite and how to reproduce them.
  1. Features & Limitations (expanded)
  • Expand the “Working / Coming Soon” list with small descriptions and any known limitations or incompatibilities.
  1. Roadmap & Changelog
  • Short roadmap with milestones and link to CHANGELOG.md or Releases page.
  1. Testing & Local Development
  • How to run tests (pytest), run linters/formatters, and developer setup (pip install -e .; pre-commit).
  1. Contributing / Governance
  • Link to CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, and brief steps for opening issues or PRs, branch naming, commit message style, and review guidelines.
  1. Security / Vulnerability disclosure
  • How to report security issues, PGP/contact for private reports.
  1. Contact / Maintainers
  • Names/handles of maintainers and expected response times, preferred communication channels (issues, discussions).
  1. License & Trademark
  • Prominent license statement and link to LICENSE file.
  1. FAQ / Troubleshooting
  • Common gotchas (import errors, template paths, static files), and quick fixes.
  1. Links to externals
  • HTMX integration notes and links, any 3rd party libs or inspirations.

Small but high-impact README improvements

  • Add a short “Why Volt?” feature comparison table vs. frameworks (FastAPI / Starlette / Django) — 1 line each.
  • Add screenshots or an animated GIF showing a demo app (SPA-like behavior).
  • Add a link to an examples/recipes folder and a one-line command to clone & run an example.
