readme.so is an online drag-and-drop editor for building README files.
The tool addresses the friction of writing README documentation from scratch by providing a visual editor where developers select from predefined sections, edit their content, rearrange them through drag-and-drop interaction, and download the resulting markdown file. This approach lowers the barrier to creating well-structured project documentation without requiring manual markdown syntax knowledge.
The tool suits developers who want to quickly scaffold a README with standard sections without starting from a blank page. It works best for projects where a conventional structure suffices and where the developer prefers visual editing over writing raw markdown. The README does not position the tool against alternatives, so no comparative guidance is available.
The project uses Next.js with React for the interface, TailwindCSS for styling, dnd kit for drag-and-drop functionality, and react-markdown for rendering. The codebase is open to contributions with a dedicated contributing guide. The tool is actively maintained with a production deployment, and feedback is solicited through both social channels and the issue tracker.
