Hello @fulleni, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request delivers a comprehensive update to the project's README.md file, aiming to significantly improve its clarity, detail, and user-friendliness. The changes involve a complete restructuring of the documentation using collapsible sections, alongside extensive expansions of feature descriptions, particularly for monetization and application control. The goal is to provide a more thorough and accessible resource for understanding the mobile client's capabilities and underlying architecture.

Highlights

• Documentation Overhaul: The README.md file has undergone a significant restructuring and content expansion to provide a more detailed and organized overview of the project. This includes using collapsible sections for better readability.
• Enhanced Feature Descriptions: Detailed explanations have been added for core user experience features like dynamic feeds (including customizable display and rich in-feed decorators), advanced content filtering, personalized user accounts (with decorator interaction tracking), and customizable app settings (including language selection).
• Advanced Monetization Engine: The monetization section has been greatly expanded, detailing a sophisticated, provider-agnostic ad system. This includes support for Google AdMob, custom ad servers, demo providers, theme-aware and format-aware ad styling, performance optimizations (caching, interstitial loading), and powerful remote control via backend RemoteConfig.
• Centralized Application Control: The description of backend-driven behavior has been enhanced and renamed to 'Centralized Application Control'. It now covers real-time configuration management for global settings and adaptive user engagement, as well as robust operational resilience features like maintenance mode and mandatory updates.
• Updated Architecture Details: The 'Clean & Modern Architecture' section now includes specific technical details such as bloc_concurrency transformers for state management and the use of KVStorageService for local key-value storage.
• Removed Testing Section: The dedicated 'Testing' section has been removed from the README.md.

Code Review

This pull request provides a significant overhaul of the README.md file, improving its structure and clarity by organizing features into collapsible sections. The updated content is more detailed and provides a better showcase of the application's capabilities. I've identified a couple of minor issues: a broken coverage badge and a broken link for purchasing the license. Once these are addressed, this will be a great update to the project's documentation.
