Discovery strategy

FloCafe belongs in high-intent POS searches.

GitHub topics are most useful when the topic matches what a real operator or developer is trying to find. FloCafe should optimize for restaurant POS intent first, then use technical tags as supporting metadata.

The strongest discovery tags are point-of-sale, restaurant-pos, cafe-pos, free-pos, kds, kitchen-display, billing-software, self-hosted, offline-first, thermal-printer, sqlite, electron, and typescript.

A star is not vanity.

On GitHub topic pages, a few stars can move FloCafe above a cluster of similar projects. That makes the project easier to discover for the next operator looking for a free restaurant POS.
