Hello @bencium, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

Summary of Changes

Hello! Gemini here, providing a summary of this pull request. The intent of this PR, as indicated by the title and description, is to improve the clarity of the README.md file, specifically regarding the instructions for starting the application using either Docker or Podman. The changes involve modifying a single line in the README to explicitly show separate commands for Docker and Podman, making the setup process clearer for users.

Highlights

• Documentation Clarity: The primary goal is to enhance the clarity of the project's README documentation.
• Docker/Podman Instructions: The specific focus is on making the instructions for starting the application with Docker or Podman more explicit and easier to follow.

Changelog

• README.md
  • Clarified the command for starting the application using Docker or Podman by splitting the single generic line into two distinct lines, one for each tool (lines 137-138).

Code Review

This pull request aims to clarify the Docker/Podman startup commands in the README.md, which is a commendable improvement for new users. Separating the commands for Docker and Podman significantly enhances clarity compared to the previous ambiguous docker/podman instruction.

I have one suggestion regarding the formatting of the new commands to ensure they are easily copy-pasteable, which would further align with the goal of making them 'super clear'.

Additionally, while this PR focuses on lines 137-138, you might consider applying a similar clarification to the docker/podman compose --env-file .env up --build command found around line 148 in a future update, as it currently presents the same ambiguity this PR addresses for the initial startup command.

Summary of Findings

• README command usability: The proposed Docker/Podman commands in README.md include prefixes ('Docker:', 'Podman:') directly on the command lines. This will cause errors if users copy-paste these lines into a terminal. Documentation instructions should provide commands that are directly executable to prevent user frustration and errors.

Merge Readiness

The intent of this PR to clarify Docker/Podman commands is excellent and a definite step up in clarity. However, I am requesting changes to address a medium-severity usability issue with the proposed command format. By implementing the suggestion to make the commands directly copy-pasteable, the README will be significantly clearer and more user-friendly, fully achieving the PR's goal.

As a reviewer, I am not authorized to approve pull requests. I recommend addressing the suggested change to improve usability before this PR is merged. It would also be beneficial to consider clarifying a similar command on line 148 in a follow-up.

[gemini-code-assist]

The current formatting with Docker: and Podman: prefixes on the command lines themselves will cause an error if a user tries to copy and paste the entire line into their terminal. To improve usability and truly make the commands 'super clear' and easy to run, it would be better to have the descriptive labels as comments and the commands themselves as directly executable lines.

Could we reformat this to ensure the commands are directly copy-pasteable?
