This PR refreshes the README to be less informal and more structured, improving wording, link targets, section organization, and tables while preserving the underlying feature descriptions and usage information.

Hey - I've left some high level feedback:

  • The bot profile links in the Bots section were changed from usernames with [bot] to plain names (e.g. mentatbot instead of mentatbot[bot]), which likely breaks the URLs; consider reverting to the correct bot usernames or verifying the new links resolve properly.
  • In the logging description you mention “search, and export options,” but search isn’t mentioned elsewhere as a feature of the log viewer; it’s worth double-checking this to keep the README aligned with the actual UI capabilities.

- In the logging description you mention “search, and export options,” but search isn’t mentioned elsewhere as a feature of the log viewer; it’s worth double-checking this to keep the README aligned with the actual UI capabilities.

Code Review by Qodo

🐞 Bugs (3) 📘 Rule violations (0) 📎 Requirement gaps (0)

Grey Divider


Action required

1. Broken LICENSE link 🐞 Bug ✓ Correctness
Description
README now links the License badge to a local LICENSE file, but the repo does not contain a
LICENSE* file, so the link will 404 and confuse users about licensing.
Code

README.md[6]

+[![License](https://img.shields.io/github/license/LousyBook94/DeepSeek-Desktop?style=flat&color=green)](LICENSE)
Evidence
The README adds a relative link target LICENSE, but there is no license file in the repository
root matching that name/pattern, so the link destination is missing.

README.md[3-6]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
README links the license badge to a local `LICENSE` file, but the repository does not include a `LICENSE` (or similarly named) file. This creates a broken link and makes licensing unclear.

### Issue Context
The README badge is now clickable and points to `LICENSE`.

### Fix Focus Areas
- README.md[3-6]

### Suggested fix
- Add a `LICENSE` file at repo root with the correct license text **or**
- Update the badge link to point to the correct existing license document/path (if it exists) or to the GitHub license page for the repo.

Remediation recommended

2. Logs search claim mismatch 🐞 Bug ✓ Correctness
Description
README claims the logs viewer has “search”, but the implemented logs window only has
Refresh/Copy/Save/Clear and a textbox, so users will look for a feature that doesn’t exist.
Code

README.md[R73-76]

+**Logging That Actually Helps**
+- Logs everything from startup, even when the viewer is closed
+- Keeps the last 1000 entries so memory stays happy
+- Dark-themed viewer with timestamps, search, and export options
Evidence
README explicitly lists “search” as a logs viewer feature, but the logs window implementation
creates only basic buttons and a textbox; no search widget/handler exists.

README.md[73-76]
main.py[363-412]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
README claims the logs viewer supports “search”, but the UI implementation does not provide any search field or search behavior.

### Issue Context
This is a docs/implementation mismatch that will confuse users.

### Fix Focus Areas
- README.md[73-76]

### Suggested fix
- Change the bullet to remove “search” (e.g., “timestamps and export options”), **or**
- Add an actual search UI + filtering behavior to `open_logs_window()` in main.py and keep the README as-is.

3. Screenshot Windows-only undocumented 🐞 Bug ✓ Correctness
Description
README documents the screenshot hotkey as dev-mode only, but omits that it only works on Windows; on
macOS/Linux dev setups it will return an error.
Code

README.md[63]

+- `Ctrl+Shift+S` — snap a screenshot (dev mode only, saves to `assets/`)
Evidence
README describes the hotkey without platform constraints, but the screenshot API explicitly rejects
non-Windows platforms.

README.md[62-65]
main.py[478-480]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
README documents `Ctrl+Shift+S` as a dev-mode screenshot shortcut but doesn’t mention it only works on Windows. Non-Windows users will hit an error.

### Issue Context
The implementation explicitly returns an error on non-Windows.

### Fix Focus Areas
- README.md[62-65]

### Suggested fix
- Update the bullet to say “(dev mode only, **Windows only**, saves to `assets/`)”, and optionally mention the expected error on non-Windows.
