👋 been having a think about READMEs lately, and wanted to try give the README a fresh perspective and kinda bring it inline with the jestsj.io update.

Major focuses:

  • Removal of most badges. This isn't a hill I'll die on, but TBH, most of them provide little value to someone looking at using Jest.

    • Knowing the CI is green for a small project is reasonably useful, barely. Knowing CI is green three times on a large project isn't. We're very unlikely to leave jest as red CI for very long, given the domain Jest is in.
    • Knowing the current version of Jest on NPM is pretty useful, especially as the major is so high, so I kept that
    • I think the open collective numbers are kinda useful, (as a user, knowing that there's potential long-term stability) but there's a lot of space given to them at the bottom of the readme
    • I did think the 'breaks semver' one was clever, so am open to that coming back somehow, but still not sure that's something someone would really care about

  • Moved some more advanced-y, or edge-cases-y docs into <details>

    • We should note babel 6 support, but it doesn't need to take up space
    • We've never checked for Jest inside babel at Artsy, so I think it's probably an edge case, so I moved that into a summary also

  • Gave the TypeScript docs a one-over. I improved the copy in the docs, and inlined the examples of how to get started, given that it's not much extra. I switched the reference link from our Artsy post, to the official babel docs (and improved them again Minor update to plugin-transform-typescript.md babel/website#1982 ) - mainly because our post reflected the alpha+beta stuff, and some of that isn't valid anymore, better to have it focus on the canonical docs here.

Also managed to get some of the descriptions down to a single line of text in the README, which is always a win in my book. This also de-Reacts it a little bit too.

Woo!

The readme is synced with GettingStarted.md, mind making sure they stay consistent?

Does not need to be mentioned in the main readme at all, IMO. Just saying "babel support" with no code seems better, and link to getting started instead

Sleek! Although I'm sad to see the blazing badge go 😄

Looks a bit weird with dark github btw. Maybe make the background in the top banner transparent instead of white? Might not help
