 ## About
 
-ProCoderJii is a learning hub for engineering students. The project brings course material, practical learning guides, career listings, and small browser games together in one Next.js website. It is built to make useful, reviewed resources easier to browse and to give contributors a clear path for adding them.
+ProCoderJii is a student-focused learning hub for engineering coursework and campus-placement preparation. The project aims to make useful, reviewed study resources easier to find and give students short, practical ways to practise skills.
 
-The repository is organized for community contributions: start with the guides below, open an issue to discuss a larger change, and submit a pull request when you are ready.
+The site is built with Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and MDX. It is a static content-driven app today: there are no user accounts or database, and game scores are not saved. Content is reviewed and registered in the project catalogues before it appears as a published resource.
 
-## Features
+## What students can do
 
-- **Course browser:** organize learning material by course, branch, and semester.
-- **Games:** Pattern Sprint and Digit Recall are free to play at [`/games`](https://procoderji.com/games). No login is required and scores are not saved between visits.
-- **Guides and jobs:** curated sections for practical guides and career opportunities. Only reviewed entries are shown.
-- **Optional video cards:** show recent videos from a public YouTube channel feed when configured.
-- **Content validation:** validate Markdown and MDX content and prevent unsafe HTML from being rendered.
-- **Responsive interface:** browse the site on desktop and mobile.
+- **Browse coursework:** navigate course, branch, and semester pages. A page only becomes searchable when useful, reviewed content is published for it.
+- **Practise placement skills:** play Pattern Sprint for number-pattern reasoning and Digit Recall for memory practice at [`/games`](https://procoderji.com/games). These are original practice exercises, not official employer assessments or promises of hiring outcomes.
+- **Find practical guidance:** read reviewed study, career, and internship resources when they are published.
+- **Use the site without an account:** practice is free, works in a browser, and does not save scores between visits.
+- **Contribute:** help improve code, documentation, and original learning material through focused pull requests.
 
-There are currently no user accounts, database, admin panel, PDF downloads, or chatbot. The contact form opens the visitor's email app; the site does not store submissions.
+Latest-video cards are optional and use a public YouTube feed when configured. The contact form opens the visitor's email app; the site does not store submissions.

 ## Getting started
 
 ### Requirements
 
-- Node.js 22.18 or newer for the full test suite (Node.js 24 is used in CI).
-- npm.
-- Google Chrome for browser tests. Microsoft Edge can be used with `E2E_CHANNEL=msedge`.
-
-Clone the repository and install its locked dependencies:
+- Node.js 24 (the version used in CI).
+- npm, included with Node.js.
+- Google Chrome for browser checks; Microsoft Edge can be used locally with `E2E_CHANNEL=msedge`.
 
 ```bash
-git clone https://github.com/Coding-Professional/procoderji.git
+git clone https://github.com/procoderji-com/procoderji.git
 cd procoderji
 npm ci
 npm run dev
 ```
 
-Open <http://localhost:3000>. The site works without environment variables. To show recent videos locally, copy `.env.example` to `.env.local` and configure the public YouTube channel ID.
-
-### Environment
+Open <http://localhost:3000>. The site works without environment variables. To enable latest-video cards locally, copy `.env.example` to `.env.local` and configure the public YouTube channel ID.
 
 | Variable | Required | Purpose |
 | --- | --- | --- |
 | `YOUTUBE_CHANNEL_ID` | No | Enables the latest-video section using the channel's public feed. |
-| `NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL` | No | Overrides the canonical site URL, such as for a staging deployment. |
+| `NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL` | No | Overrides the canonical site URL, for example in a staging deployment. |
 
-See [deployment documentation](docs/deployment.md) for hosting and environment details. Never commit secrets or personal credentials.

-## Commands
+## Commands and CI
 
 | Command | Purpose |
 | --- | --- |
 | `npm run dev` | Start the local development server. |
 | `npm run lint` | Run ESLint. |
 | `npm run typecheck` | Check TypeScript types. |
-| `npm test` | Run unit and content validation tests. |
+| `npm test` | Run unit and content-validation tests. |
 | `npm run build` | Create the production build. |
-| `npm run launch-check` | Build and crawl the site, checking links and SEO metadata. |
-| `npm run e2e` | Run browser checks in Chrome on desktop and mobile. |
+| `npm run e2e` | Build with temporary synthetic content and check browser behavior on desktop and mobile. |
+| `npm run launch-check` | Build the real site and crawl links, sitemap, metadata, and SEO rules. |
 
-Browser checks use temporary synthetic content and restore their fixtures when they exit. They refuse to run if `src/data` or `src/content` has local changes. The runner and fixtures are documented in [`e2e/run.mjs`](e2e/run.mjs) and the [`e2e/` directory](e2e/).
+Pull requests run lint, type checks, unit tests, a production build, browser checks, and the production link/SEO crawl. The E2E runner refuses to run when `src/data` or `src/content` has local changes, then restores its fixtures when it exits.
