Changes

  • Add project description explaining what Aether is and what problems it solves
  • Add installation instructions (go get, Go 1.23+ requirement)
  • Add quick start code example showing:
    • Creating events
    • Saving to an event store
    • Replaying events to rebuild state
  • Add key concepts section (immutability, derived state, versioning)
  • Add links to further documentation (vision.md, CLAUDE.md)
  • Add CI status badge

Closes #44

AI Code Review

This is an automated review generated by the code-reviewer agent.

Summary

Excellent documentation that clearly explains what Aether is and provides a practical quick start example. The README successfully addresses all acceptance criteria from issue #44 and maintains the project's philosophy of providing primitives without framework opinions.

Findings

Code Quality

  • Well-structured README with logical flow from problem statement to solution
  • Clear headings and organization make it easy to scan and find information
  • The 'Why Aether?' section effectively positions the project by comparing it to alternatives
  • Code example is practical and demonstrates core concepts effectively

Potential Bugs

  • Quick start example ignores errors from eventStore.SaveEvent() and eventStore.GetEvents() (lines 60, 70, 73). While this keeps the example concise, it could mislead developers into thinking error handling is optional. Consider adding a brief comment like // Error handling omitted for brevity or handle at least one error to demonstrate the pattern.

Security Concerns

  • No security concerns identified

Style Notes

  • Documentation style is consistent with the codebase conventions
  • The concise, primitive-focused approach matches the project's philosophy as stated in CLAUDE.md
  • CI badge placement at the top is standard and appropriate

Test Coverage

  • The code example demonstrates event sourcing fundamentals accurately
  • Example correctly uses store.NewInMemoryEventStore(), aether.Event struct fields, and event versioning
  • All acceptance criteria from issue #44 are covered:
    • Project description: Yes
    • Installation instructions: Yes
    • Quick start example (creating, saving, replaying): Yes
    • Links to further documentation: Yes
    • CI status badge: Yes

Verdict

Needs Changes (Minor)

The README is excellent and ready to merge with one minor improvement: the Quick Start example should either handle errors or add a comment explaining they're omitted for brevity. This prevents setting a precedent of ignoring errors in production code.

The error handling note is non-blocking but worth addressing before merge.
