Description

Goal Create a concise, ~500-word explanation of what the VisualizeCerts repository is, what it does, and how it can be used.

Audience

  • New visitors to the repo (developers and learners)
  • People evaluating if this project helps visualize Microsoft certifications, exams, and Credly badges

Scope & Content

  • Purpose: Briefly explain the problem this repo solves and the value it provides
  • Overview: Summarize the data sources (Credly badges, passed exams, MS Learn credentials) and how they are fetched/used
  • Tech: Note key files (ai_exam_recommender.py, fetch_* scripts, index.html, plotly) and how the visualization works at a high level
  • Usage: Describe how someone can run or view the visualization locally at a high level
  • Status: Mention any known limitations or assumptions
  • Callouts: Link to README.md for details and highlight where future contributors can help

Style

  • Clear, friendly, and explanatory
  • Skimmable paragraphs (3–5 sentences each), minimal jargon

Deliverable

  • A single ~500-word section suitable for inclusion near the top of README.md (or as a new section referenced by README)

Acceptance Criteria

  • 450–550 words
  • Covers Purpose, Overview, Tech, Usage, and Status at minimum
  • Factually consistent with the current repo contents
  • Includes links to relevant files/sections in the repo
  • Ready to paste into README with minimal edits

Optional

  • A short TL;DR (1–2 sentences) at the top
  • A closing sentence inviting contributions
