From 3d2b62bc4d9817236121701b51474a6f4ef73334 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Date: Fri, 9 May 2025 00:32:01 +1000 Subject: [PATCH 1/7] docs: update LICENSE and README for clarity and consistency Improve readability and structure of the LICENSE and README files. The LICENSE file is updated to use a consistent heading format, while the README is restructured to provide a more engaging and informative overview of the Crapfixer tool, its features, and usage instructions. These changes aim to enhance user understanding and engagement with the project. --- LICENSE | 2 +- README.md | 54 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------ 2 files changed, 37 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) diff --git a/LICENSE b/LICENSE index 33409e5..990fbaa 100644 --- a/LICENSE +++ b/LICENSE @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -MIT License +# MIT License Copyright (c) 2025 A Belim app creation (Builtbybel) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 41a82d9..3a32917 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -1,30 +1,48 @@ +# Crapfixer: The Tool That Says What Everyone's Thinking -# the tool that says what everyoneโ€™s thinking -## the tool Microsoft would build, if they hated bloatware as much as we do +## Because Microsoft Would Build This, If They Hated Bloatware As Much As We Do -Remember the days when you'd run a registry cleaner even if you didn't really need it?
