Documentation is an easy win

Readmes are often overlooked, abandoned, or forgotten entirely. Don't let a pour readme sour a good project.

A good readme is easy. First off this is just a starting point, there's always room to improve a readme. Here's how I start all my projects.

- Project Details 
  - Who is the project for? 
  - What does it do?
- Set up
  - How can I get someone up and running on this project? 
- Tech behind the project.
  - What frameworks/technologies are we using?
- Architecture 
  - How is the folder structure laid out? Just big picture stuff
- Testing / Formatting
  - Do you have formatting or testing and how is it enforced?
- FAQs
  - What's confusing about this project and why?
