chore: remove www.accomplish.ai brand links from README

[DanielScharfsteinGit]

Jira

TBD — Slack request from Guy (2026-05-12 10:23 IDT): "Can someone pick a small task of removing the links from GitHub to accomplish.ai? We have them in the description and readme (and maybe elsewhere). It's important for reducing confusion and increase hygiene."

Summary

Removes 4 marketing/brand links to www.accomplish.ai from the public accomplish repo README. Functional downloads.accomplish.ai binary URLs are preserved.

Why

Per Guy's request — hygiene + reduce confusion. The links to the marketing site (website, blog, "Built by Accomplish") no longer reflect where the project lives; the README's job is to point at the GitHub-hosted source + releases.

What Changed

README.md:

• Removed Accomplish website and Accomplish blog from the top download bar.
• Removed Accomplish website and Accomplish blog from the footer link row.
• Removed Built by [Accomplish](https://www.accomplish.ai) trailing the MIT License line.
• Preserved the 12 functional downloads.accomplish.ai/downloads/0.5.17/... binary URLs and the releases / Issues / Twitter links.

Net diff: 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-).

Follow-up needed (repo-admin only — not in this PR)

The GitHub repo's Homepage URL field is currently set to https://www.accomplish.ai. That field is part of repo settings, not the codebase, so it requires a separate admin action:

gh api -X PATCH repos/accomplish-ai/accomplish -f homepage=''

Flagging here so it doesn't get missed.

Open question for reviewer

If Guy meant to remove all accomplish.ai references (including downloads.accomplish.ai/... and connectors.accomplish.ai), say so — I'll open a follow-on PR with the broader cut. My read of "links from GitHub to accomplish.ai" was marketing-site links specifically, leaving functional/operational URLs in place.

Validation

• grep -nE "https?://(www\.)?accomplish\.ai" README.md returns zero hits after the change.
• grep -c "downloads.accomplish.ai" README.md returns 13 (12 binary URLs + 1 in code-block context), confirming functional URLs preserved.
• README renders correctly locally (markdown lint clean).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Simplified external links and references in documentation by consolidating to key resources (Accomplish releases, Issues, Twitter) and streamlined footer information.
