Goal

Document Nexgit's product positioning against existing tools without overstating novelty.

Why this matters

GitHub Desktop and gh-dash already exist. Nexgit should be honest that its niche is an open-source Rust TUI plus Electron desktop over the same local GitHub workflow engine.

Command/API target

Update product docs with concise references to GitHub Desktop PR review limitations and gh-dash's terminal dashboard strengths.

Depends on

None. This can be claimed immediately.

Out of scope

  • Do not write marketing copy that claims Nexgit is the first GitHub TUI or first GitHub desktop client.
  • Do not add implementation code.
  • Do not introduce stacked PR positioning.

Definition of done

  • Docs explain what GitHub Desktop already does well.
  • Docs explain what gh-dash already does well.
  • Docs state Nexgit's intended local TUI + desktop workflow niche.

Verification

  • pnpm format:prettier:check
  • Links should include GitHub Desktop PR docs, GitHub Desktop PR review request #13262, and gh-dash.
