Can we add a community rule that mentions of software releases at a minimum say what the software does? The category, if nothing else, but ideally an elevator pitch.

That would be great. I frequently have to click the link and navigate to a home page for a meaningful description. Here’s the opening statement from Koto’s README on GitHub.

Koto is a simple and expressive programming language, usable as an extension language for Rust applications, or as a standalone scripting language.

This is the first thing I need to read to understand if I should or should not care about the project and its new release.
