The hyphenated "ory" on its own line at the end of a paragraph is another really bad look. If these are the examples to pitch the system... it doesn't seem ready for primetime. That's OK. Every project has to start somewhere, but the README could stand to frame that a little better.

yeah, LaTeX tries really hard to avoid such a short trailing line.
