This PR transforms the minimal 3-line README into a comprehensive, beautiful documentation package that properly showcases Broler - a modern web application for finding broken links within websites.

What's New

🎨 Beautiful README with Complete Documentation

The new README includes:

  • Professional header with clear project description and feature highlights
  • Visual documentation with actual UI screenshots showing the main interface and settings dialog
  • Complete installation guide for both Go backend and Next.js frontend
  • Usage examples with step-by-step instructions
  • Architecture overview explaining the modern tech stack (Go + gRPC + React + TypeScript)
  • Configuration documentation covering all features mentioned in the requirements:
    • URL status checking (reachable/unreachable)
    • JavaScript and CSS file validation
    • Recursive site crawling
    • Domain filtering options
    • URL allow/block lists
    • Optional file type scanning

📸 UI Screenshots

Added high-quality screenshots demonstrating:

  • Main interface with URL input, tree view, and real-time progress
  • Settings dialog showing all configuration options (domain restrictions, JS/CSS toggles, URL filtering)

📋 Supporting Documentation

  • CONTRIBUTING.md: Comprehensive development guidelines including setup instructions, code style guidelines, testing procedures, and PR process
  • LICENSE: MIT license for open source compliance
  • Updated .gitignore: Proper exclusions for build artifacts, IDE files, and temporary files

Technical Improvements

Project Structure

  • Added docs/images/ directory for organized documentation assets
  • Cleaned up accidentally committed binary files
  • Improved git hygiene with comprehensive .gitignore

Documentation Quality

  • All 6 core features clearly documented with examples

  • Performance notes about concurrent processing and streaming capabilities
  • Development setup instructions for both backend and frontend
  • Clear architecture explanation of the Go + React stack

This documentation package makes Broler immediately accessible to new users and contributors, providing everything needed to understand, install, and extend the application.
