docs: clearer fork lineage, toned-down positioning, LICENSE fork copyright

Acknowledgements + upstream note when GitHub shows no fork badge; balance
portfolio copy away from privacy-first framing; add Marco Pontili to MIT line.

 # Markdown2PDF
 
-Privacy-first Markdown-to-PDF in your browser—live GitHub-flavored preview, syntax-highlighted fenced code, and Mermaid diagrams. Runs offline as a PWA; no server and no uploads, so your content stays on your device.
+Turn Markdown into a print-ready PDF in your browser—**live GitHub-flavored preview**, **syntax-highlighted** fenced code blocks, and **Mermaid** diagrams. Works **offline as a PWA** after the first load; processing stays in the browser (no separate backend).
 
-This is a fork of [realdennis/md2pdf](https://github.com/realdennis/md2pdf). Thanks to @realdennis for the original work.
+## Acknowledgements
+
+This repository is derived from **[realdennis/md2pdf](https://github.com/realdennis/md2pdf)** (MIT). Thanks to Dennis for the original app.
+
+This fork evolves the codebase independently: **Mermaid** in the preview, **remark-gfm** + **highlight.js**, **vite-plugin-pwa** / offline caching, stricter sanitization paths, UX and PDF-oriented styling, CI build + deploy automation, tests, and ongoing maintenance. *(If GitHub doesn’t show a “forked from” badge, that’s usually because the repo was created as a new remote rather than GitHub’s Fork button—you still carry MIT attribution in this README and in [`LICENSE`](LICENSE).)*
