Hey there - I've reviewed your changes - here's some feedback:
- The README currently starts with a very large block of blank lines; consider removing the leading whitespace so the content is visible immediately when opening the file.
- The fenced code block opened with
markdown near the top of the file is never closed in the diff, which will break Markdown rendering; add the corresponding closingat the appropriate place. - The troubleshooting
apt-getinstructions are Debian/Ubuntu-specific; it may be helpful to either note that explicitly or provide a more generic Python 3 installation hint for other platforms.
