#94The Readme goes right to how to install it, and other than the logo saying "sell your stuff, see what sticks" there is 0 information about what it does. Sure I can Google, but I think it should be right there, at the top of the Readme.

It's an ecommerce platform.
One might prove one's intent in offering this platform for actual use by others through providing some base level of documentation.
I don't think they do intend that. I think they intend to get free contributions from keen people who think erroneously they're contributing to a public good.

Agreed. Their 'no full time employees' philosophy would be consistent with that: https://sahillavingia.com/work
