This means demonstrating how your product or service can solve their problems or improve their lives rather than simply describing its features or qualities. For example, instead of saying "our software is easy to use", show potential customers a video of how the software works and how it simplifies a complex task. Instead of saying "our product is high-quality", provide actual customer testimonials or reviews that highlight how the product has exceeded their expectations. Showing rather than telling helps build trust with your customers and allows them to make informed decisions about purchasing from your business. By demonstrating the benefits and value of your products or services, you can create a strong connection with your customers and build a loyal customer base. On a GitHub Readme, you could implement Show dont tell by including screenshots, gifs, or videos that showcase your project's features and functionality. Instead of just listing out the features in text, providing visual aids can help users better understand the potential benefits and value of your project. You could also include specific use cases or scenarios where your project would be useful, which would show how your project can solve real-world problems for users. This can help potential users see the practical uses of your project and how it can make their lives easier or more efficient. Overall, incorporating Show dont tell in your GitHub Readme can help you stand out from other projects and better communicate the value of your project to potential users.
