docs: expand readme and fix broken Discord badge - #31
Conversation
The Discord badge at the top of the readme is broken. dcbadge.vercel.app now returns 404 DEPLOYMENT_NOT_FOUND, so the first thing a visitor sees is a dead image. Repointed at dcbadge.limes.pink, the maintained successor, using the same invite code. Verified it renders. Everything else from the previous readme is preserved word for word: the project description, the flashing process line, and the Docker build and run instructions. Added, all read out of the code rather than assumed: - A Requirements section. The app calls navigator.serial.requestPort(), so it only works in Chromium browsers. The app already tells users this at runtime through errors.browserCompatibility, but the readme did not, so Firefox and Safari users had no warning before arriving. - A table of all 11 supported devices and their board versions, taken from src/components/firmware_data.json. - The seven-step usage flow, taken from the instructions strings in src/i18n/locales/en.json so it matches what the UI shows. - Notes that firmware versions are fetched live from GitHub releases with drafts and pre-releases filtered out, and what Keep configuration does. - Features, including serial logging and the nine shipped languages. - npm scripts alongside the existing Docker instructions. - Tech stack, deployment, documentation, contributing and license sections. - Badges for license, release, Next.js and the live demo, plus a direct link to the hosted flasher. The contributing section points at the three files a translation touches and the json file a new board touches.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe README was expanded with project branding, requirements, usage instructions, supported devices, features, development commands, technology details, deployment information, contribution guidance, community links, and license information. ChangesREADME documentation
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The README is usable, but its heading structure and browser-support table have minor accessibility issues, and one feature label needs wording cleanup.

Keep the heading hierarchy sequential.
The first heading after the H1 is an H3. Change this to an H2, or use a non-heading link, so the document outline remains accessible.

Add headers to the browser support table.
The table uses empty header cells. Add descriptive headers so assistive technology can identify each column.
Proposed fix

+121 / -1. The single deleted line is the broken Discord badge — every other line of the previous readme is preserved word for word.The Discord badge is dead
The first thing anyone sees at the top of the readme is a broken image:
dcbadge.vercel.apphas been taken down. Repointed atdcbadge.limes.pink, the maintained successor, with the same invite code. I verified it renders — it currently reports Open Source Miners United: 13057 MEMBERS.The browser requirement wasn't documented
This is the change I'd most encourage taking. The flasher calls
navigator.serial.requestPort(), so it only works in Chromium-based browsers.The app already handles this at runtime —
errors.browserCompatibilityin the locale files says exactly that. But the readme never mentioned it, so a Firefox or Safari user found out only after connecting hardware and clicking through. There's now a Requirements section stating it up front, along with the reminder that a charge-only USB cable won't work.Supported devices
A table of all 11 devices and their board versions, read from
src/components/firmware_data.json— Max, Ultra, UltraHex, Supra, Gamma, Gamma Duo, Gamma Turbo, SupraHex, NerdMiner, NerdNOS and Bitforge Nano. Someone can now tell whether their board revision is supported without opening the app or the JSON.Everything else added
src/i18n/locales/en.jsonso it matches what the UI actually shows rather than drifting from it.npm run devalongside the existing Docker instructions — the Docker path was the only documented way to run it locally.The contributing section names the exact files a change touches:
firmware_data.jsonfor a new board, andlocales/,i18n/config.tsandLanguageSelector.tsxfor a new translation.Suggestion for the About sidebar
The repo has no topics set. These would help people find it, since "bitaxe flasher" and "esp32 web flasher" are exactly what someone searches for:
I can't set those myself — topics are a repo setting and I only have read access here. It's the gear icon next to About on the repo homepage.
Verified: all six local links in the readme resolve, the Discord invite is unchanged, and line endings match the original (LF). No code touched.
