Have you seen Finding Forrester? It's a lot easier to write once you've got a frame and a few sentences you don't like on the page!

It's great to use these tools to give you more time to be a human, but the ReadMe is for humans, and is dramatically improved by being set in your voice. The problem is that when your project description looks like the result of a solid twenty minute prompt session it woefully undersells the rest of the project.

It might be cool! I might bother to learn it! But I'm not going to care more than you about it.

I rewrote it. The "how young this is" section is gone, and the design section is now in my own words. Thanks for the push!
