    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is the README generator completely free?

    Yes — 100% free, no account needed, no watermarks, no generation limits. All features including badge builder, tech stack, GitHub stats, section manager, and markdown linter are permanently free. CalcNation does not charge for any developer tools.

    Does this README generator save my project?

    The README generator does not save your project data to any server — everything runs locally in your browser. Your input is not persisted between sessions. Bookmark the page and download your README.md to save your work. Future updates may add optional local storage saving.

    Can I use this on mobile?

    Yes — the README generator works on mobile browsers. The split-screen layout collapses to a single column on mobile. The left panel shows configuration and the right panel shows the preview. For complex README creation with code blocks, a desktop browser is recommended for a better experience.

    What keyboard shortcuts are available?

    Ctrl+Enter refreshes the preview, Ctrl+Shift+C copies markdown to clipboard, Ctrl+S downloads the README.md file, Ctrl+L clears all inputs, M toggles between rendered preview and raw markdown view.

    How accurate is the Markdown preview compared to GitHub?

    The preview renders all standard GFM elements — headings, bold/italic, code blocks, inline code, images (badges), links, blockquotes, lists, and horizontal rules. Table rendering is partial. Complex nested Markdown may differ slightly from GitHub's official renderer. For pixel-perfect verification, copy your README and preview it directly on GitHub.

    Can multiple people collaborate on a README using this tool?

    The current version does not support real-time collaboration. For team collaboration, generate the initial README structure here, then commit it to your repository and use GitHub's web editor or Pull Request workflow for collaborative editing.
