Update profile/README.md to clarify project values: replace the Tolkien quote with a Santayana quote, change “open source internet” to “free and open internet,” and add a new note urging users not to trade rights for convenience (emphasizing ownership, privacy, and agency). Also remove a stray trailing hyphen and apply minor formatting cleanup.
Revamp profile/README.md to clarify the project's mission and expand content. Rephrases the opening mission, adds new sections (An open internet is not the default, The Parallel stack, Who this is for), breaks out what Parallel ships (Code, Hardware, Blueprints, Guides, Media), emphasizes the Data Slayer media channel, and tightens language and calls-to-action throughout. Also includes an updated .DS_Store metadata entry.
Delete the trailing separator and the marketing line "Open source. Buy once. Own forever." from profile/README.md. Also updates the .DS_Store file (macOS metadata) accompanying the change.
Refactors profile/README.md to foreground Parallel's mission and narrative: adds an opening Tolkien quote, a new “The mission” section framing technological sovereignty, expands the discussion of freedom, democracy, and the stakes of platform control, tightens the “Indie tech” messaging, removes the old “Who this is for” section, and adds structural separators for readability. Also includes a new .DS_Store binary file in the repo.
Reworks profile/README.md with a content-only copy refresh: replaces and tightens paragraphs, renames and consolidates headings (e.g. "Here's what we believe", "What we stand for", "Join us"), and shifts tone to a more direct, positive emphasis on ownership, open source, decentralization, and buy-once hardware. Updates the Data Slayer and Get Involved sections, simplifies bullet items and wording, and reorganizes messaging about products, blueprints, and guides. No code or functional changes — purely editorial.
Replace the specific product list with a new "What We Believe In" section that outlines core principles (ownership, open source, subscription-free, decentralized, accessible, practical). Tighten and rephrase intro and closing copy for clarity, remove several example product bullets, and simplify the YouTube blurb. Overall copy edits refocus the README from product examples to the project's values and mission.
Replace the short tagline with an expanded manifesto and product overview. Adds sections for mission, "Why We Exist", detailed product/project descriptions (Haven, MeshLink, Reticulum RNodes), shipping/hardware info, Data Slayer media, target audience, "Parallel Economy" messaging, and a "Get Involved" call-to-action with links (GitHub repos, YouTube, Patreon, Discord, subreddit, and shop). Clarifies buy-once/open-source positioning and provides resources for contributors and builders.
Remove the top-level README.md and add profile/README.md containing the project profile for Parallel. The new README documents the organization's mission, projects (Haven MANET, MeshLink, Reticulum RNodes), use cases, and tech stack to better surface project information under the profile directory.
