+121 / -1; the single deleted line is the broken Discord badge, and every other line is preserved word for word.

The Discord badge is dead

dcbadge.vercel.app has been taken down and returns 404, so the first thing at the top of the readme is a broken image.

Repointed at dcbadge.limes.pink, the maintained successor, with the same invite code — verified rendering as Open Source Miners United: 13057 MEMBERS.

The browser requirement wasn't documented

This is the change I'd most encourage taking: the flasher calls navigator.serial.requestPort(), so it only works in Chromium-based browsers.

The app already says so at runtime via errors.browserCompatibility, but the readme didn't, so a Firefox or Safari user found out only after connecting hardware.

There's now a Requirements section stating it up front, with the reminder that a charge-only USB cable won't work.

Supported devices

A table of all 11 devices and their board versions, read from src/components/firmware_data.json, so someone can check their board revision without opening the app.

Everything else added

The seven-step usage flow, taken from src/i18n/locales/en.json so it matches what the UI shows rather than drifting from it.

That firmware versions are fetched live from GitHub releases with drafts and pre-releases filtered out, and what Keep configuration does.

The Discord badge at the top of the readme is broken. dcbadge.vercel.app
now returns 404 DEPLOYMENT_NOT_FOUND, so the first thing a visitor sees is a
dead image. Repointed at dcbadge.limes.pink, the maintained successor, using
the same invite code. Verified it renders.

Everything else from the previous readme is preserved word for word: the
project description, the flashing process line, and the Docker build and run
instructions.

Added, all read out of the code rather than assumed:

- A Requirements section. The app calls navigator.serial.requestPort(), so
  it only works in Chromium browsers. The app already tells users this at
  runtime through errors.browserCompatibility, but the readme did not, so
  Firefox and Safari users had no warning before arriving.
- A table of all 11 supported devices and their board versions, taken from
  src/components/firmware_data.json.
- The seven-step usage flow, taken from the instructions strings in
  src/i18n/locales/en.json so it matches what the UI shows.
- Notes that firmware versions are fetched live from GitHub releases with
  drafts and pre-releases filtered out, and what Keep configuration does.
- Features, including serial logging and the nine shipped languages.
- npm scripts alongside the existing Docker instructions.
- Tech stack, deployment, documentation, contributing and license sections.
- Badges for license, release, Next.js and the live demo, plus a direct link
  to the hosted flasher.

The contributing section points at the three files a translation touches and
the json file a new board touches.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0368e

The README is usable, but its heading structure and browser-support table have minor accessibility issues, and one feature label needs wording cleanup. Since no runtime behavior changed, the PR remains low risk and mergeable with bounded documentation follow-up.

Keep the heading hierarchy sequential.

The first heading after the H1 is an H3. Change this to an H2, or use a non-heading link, so the document outline remains accessible.

Add headers to the browser support table.

The table uses empty header cells. Add descriptive headers so assistive technology can identify each column.
