Your current README.md is already professional, informative, and badge-rich. Well done! 👏
To take it to the next level visually and structurally, here are suggestions and an enhanced version:
- 🏷️ Comprehensive badge use for build status, version, language split
- 📸 SVG hero banner inclusion
- 🧠 Clear usage examples in Python and TypeScript
- 🔁 GitHub flow instructions for contributions
- 📦 Clean tech stack section with logos
| Area | Suggestion |
|---|---|
| 🧭 Structure | Use centered headings, horizontal dividers (<hr>), and callouts |
| 🎨 Visual polish | Replace some raw badge lines with emoji + table format |
| 🖼 Image scaling | Use proper width on the banner image for consistent rendering |
| 🧪 Demo section | Add a demo GIF or screenshot (if available) |
| 🛡 Deployment info | Add badge/status for Firebase Hosting / CI |
