Repository navigation
No licence yet, plus two small About-box ideas #41
Description
Hi! The 57-second intro video made by motion-render itself is a great demo: it answers "what does this make?" before I'd scrolled at all. And I liked that the HTML path gets an automatic layout check before rendering.
I'm a communications student and I made a launch-readiness checker for open-source repos with the help of AI. Running it on motion-render, almost everything passed. Three things left:
- The repo has no licence. There's no LICENSE file and the README doesn't mention one, so by default nobody is allowed to reuse or modify the code, even though people can install it. If you want others to use it, adding a LICENSE file (GitHub has a template picker under Add file → Create new file →
LICENSE) makes that clear. - The About text is 167 characters, so it gets cut off in search results and link previews. Something shorter like "Turn a theme into a narrated, animated explainer video (MP4) with Claude Code" keeps the key idea visible.
- The Website field is empty. Your wiki's Examples page has more videos. Putting that link in the About box gives people a one-click way to see more output from the repo page and from search.

These are only suggestions, so feel free to close this.

Thank you for the careful report, and for the kind words about the intro video.
All three points were right, and the check caught more than it might seem: the About text still said "with Claude Motion", which stopped being true at v1.0.0. So it was overdue.
I also had a look at Megaphone itself, and I like it a lot:
Good luck with the launch!

Thank you, this made my day, and thanks for the star! Glad the three fixes were easy to act on. I re-ran the check after #43 was merged, and motion-render went from 65 to 79.
Would you mind if I quoted a couple of lines from your note in Megaphone's README, with a link to motion-render? Totally fine if not. Good luck with the launch too!
