chore(readme): polish for Microsoft Store launch traffic#55
Merged
Conversation
Tightens the README ahead of HN / Reddit submissions: Hero / badges - Add a hero screenshot using the <picture> element so GitHub serves the dark-theme viewer to dark-mode visitors and the light-theme variant to light-mode visitors. - Replace the bespoke "PDFApps PDF Editor" base64 badge (which still linked to the legacy nelsonduarte.github.io URL) with a clean Microsoft Store install badge linking to the Store listing. - Drop the Hypercommit badge. Features table accuracy (was significantly underselling the app) - OCR: clarify that we bundle 5 language packs but any Tesseract language can be installed separately (Tesseract supports 100+). - Convert: list all eight current targets (DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, HTML, EPUB, TXT, PNG, JPG) instead of just DOCX/TXT/images. - Import: list all eight current source formats (DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, HTML, EPUB, TXT, Markdown, images) instead of just TXT/Markdown/ images. Eight import formats landed in v1.12.0. Download table - Promote "Get from Microsoft Store" to the first row, with the direct installer demoted to a second Windows row. - Replace the broken `PDFApps-1.8.3-x86_64.AppImage` URL with a version-agnostic "latest" instruction. Build sizes - Update PDFApps.exe (~82 → ~93 MB), PDFAppsUninstall.exe (~11 → ~13 MB) and PDFAppsSetup.exe (~104 → ~113 MB) to reflect actual v1.13.10 artefact sizes. Project structure - Replace the "Single-page site with JS-based i18n" line with the current six-page docs/ layout, and list msix/, flatpak/, snap/, aur/, rpm/, winget/ packaging directories that weren't documented. Sponsors - Simplify to a two-line ask + the two existing buttons. Drop the empty Gold sponsors / Backers tiers, which felt presumptuous for a solo-dev project. Why dedupe - The "Why PDFApps?" multi-language bullet now mentions the language count instead of repeating the "auto-detects" wording that already appears in "Other highlights".
