Code Review

This PR updates the README.md to provide more context about Jetcaster's features, specifically highlighting its use of Material Expressive elements and strongly recommending the use of dark theme for an optimal experience.

The additions are generally clear and informative. One suggestion has been made to refine the wording regarding the dark theme to ensure clarity about how the app's theming behaves in relation to system settings, while still encouraging users to try the dark theme for the best showcase.

[gemini-code-assist]

The statement 'This app features a dark theme as the primary theme of the app' could be slightly clarified. While the strong recommendation to use dark theme is excellent for guiding users to the intended showcase experience, 'primary theme' might imply that the app always defaults to dark or that its light theme is significantly less supported. However, the theming code (e.g., in mobile/.../Theme.kt) respects the system's current setting via isSystemInDarkTheme().

To enhance clarity and align perfectly with the app's behavior while still emphasizing the dark theme, consider a slight rephrasing. This helps ensure users on light-themed systems understand why dark theme is recommended if the app initially respects their light system theme.

Suggested change

	Set your device to dark theme when trying out Jetcaster. This app features a dark theme as the primary theme of the app, since contextually media apps benefit greatly from dark themes. It also shows that contrast and expressive design can still be honored with dark themes.
	Set your device to dark theme when trying out Jetcaster. Jetcaster's design is best showcased in its dark theme, which is why we recommend this setting; media apps contextually benefit greatly from dark themes. It also shows that contrast and expressive design can still be honored with dark themes.
