GradeF

Getting noticed, but rough fundamentals could turn visitors away.

Higher than 35% of 5,156 graded repos

A low grade is a to-do list, not a judgment of your code

Most gaps here are documentation, tests, and setup, not the code itself. Closing your top 3 gaps alone would lift this repo to C (76).

Contributing guide5pt25

Contributing guidance is in the README, not a dedicated CONTRIBUTING.md (−20 pts).

Install and run instructions9pt45

No install instructions found in the README (−45 pts).

Add a section showing how to install dependencies.

README12pt80

This repository is large enough that GitHub truncated the file tree. The scan is based on a partial file list, so some checks may under-report.
