Monorepos are a powerful strategy for managing code.

I’ve seen some teams and projects having really nice CHANGELOG.md and release notes but knowing from experience, writing release notes by hand is a pain. Scrolling through git log, guessing which commits count as features or fixes, and hoping you don’t forget something important isn’t exactly fun.
All projects need a good README.md, It’s the front door to the project and it needs to quickly show a potential user what the tool does and why it’s valuable. I put a lot of effort in having a good README for tbdflow but it was still static text, and the examples was buried deep down.
