Subject: [PATCH] feat: Enhance README.md for CodePatchwork
This commit significantly revamps the README.md to improve engagement and prominently feature the live demo.
Key changes include:
- Added a prominent "Try CodePatchwork Live!" section with a large call-to-action button and badge linking to https://www.codepatchwork.com.
- Enhanced the header with project badges (Stars, License, Demo), a new tagline, and a more descriptive introduction.
- Incorporated a Table of Contents for easier navigation.
- Added a "Quick Start" section directing users to the live demo or minimal local setup.
- Reorganized the "Features" section into categories (Visual Experience, Organization & Discovery, Collaboration & Sharing) for better scannability.
- Added a "Screenshots" section with placeholders for visual examples.
- Appended a new footer with a final call-to-action to try the demo and links to star the repo or report issues.
- Ensured all existing content is preserved and integrated into the new structure.
- Multiple mentions of the live demo URL are now present.
The goal of these changes is to make the README more inviting, informative, and to drive users to the live demo.
