 ### 3. Submitting it through a PR
 
-- Make sure to run `npm ci && npm run build:readme` before submitting the Pull Request.
 - The pull request should have a useful title and include a link to the package and why it should be included.
 - Submit products when they are useable, or at a state which has something to show which is awesome in itself. This cuts down on half-finished implementations.
 
 Thank you for your suggestions!
