What makes your project stand out?
Show what the library does as concisely as possible, developers should be able to figure out how your project solves their problem by looking at the code example. Make sure the API you are showing off is obvious, and that your code is short and concise.
Provide step by step series of examples and explanations about how to get a development env running.
Depending on the size of the project, if it is small and simple enough the reference docs can be added to the README. For medium size to larger projects it is important to at least provide a link to where the API reference docs live.
Describe and show how to run the tests with code examples.
Let people know how they can contribute into your project. A contributing guideline will be a big plus.
