#495 The README opens with what OpenChronology is

[Anonymous]

Closes [#479].

Repository settings: these are on GitHub rather than in this PR, and I've already set them:

• Description: "OpenChronology: a free, open-source timeline editor for exact dates at any scale, from deep time to fractions of a second, with sources on every event. Web, desktop and self-hosted."
• Website: https://timescale.info
• Topics: timeline, chronology, history, timeline-editor, bce-dates, digital-humanities, self-hosted, tauri, postgresql, incident-timeline
• The openchronology organization: its description and website likewise.

Not done: GitHub has no API for the repository's social preview image, so it needs uploading by hand under Settings → General → Social preview. The site's platform/public/social-preview.jpg (1200 × 630) fits.

In this PR: the README began "A timeline editor for moments in time" and called the desktop app "a Linux Tauri desktop application". Its first paragraph now has:

• the sentence the home page and FAQ open with (#481);
• where to use it: timescale.info, the desktop apps for Windows, macOS and Linux, the offline HTML file, or your own server;
• the note on exact times.

The help's "Project overview" is described by that first sentence (153 characters).

Tests: help.test.mjs passes, including its check of every page's description.
