Summary
README.md currently starts directly with the link list, with no introduction explaining what this repo is, who it's for, or how to navigate it. With 568+ stars and a wide range of visitors (students, developers, broadcast engineers switching to OTT), a short introduction and table of contents would significantly improve the onboarding experience.
What's missing
Introduction paragraph (3–5 sentences)
- What is this repo? (Curated list of streaming resources for people new to the field)
- Who is it for? (Engineers new to video streaming, developers entering the space)
- How should you use it? (Start with the fundamentals, then explore by topic)
- How is it maintained? (Community contributions welcome — link to CONTRIBUTING.md once added)
Table of contents
A standard GitHub markdown TOC linking to each major section so readers can jump directly to what's relevant (ad-insertion, DRM, low-latency, FAST, etc.) without scrolling through the entire document.
GitHub Markdown supports anchor links automatically, so a TOC requires only adding links in the format:
- [Section Name](#section-name)
Skill level guide (optional but valuable)
A brief note on which sections are most relevant for different starting points:
- Total beginner: Start here → [Starting Point / Fundamentals]
- Developer adding video to app: Start here → [Players], [HLS/DASH basics]
- Broadcast engineer moving to OTT: Start here → [Ingest protocols], [Packaging]
How to help
No streaming expertise required — this is a documentation and UX improvement. Draft a short intro paragraph and generate a TOC from the existing section headings.
