Rules
- Frame it as personal interest - curiosity, a problem you wanted to solve, something you wanted to learn.
- Plain language - no buzzwords, no jargon
- Short and scannable - use headers and bullets; no walls of text
- Justify the project - answer "why does this exist?" in one or two sentences up top
Structure

What to avoid
