Revamp the README.md in the Academic-pal/.github repository to make it beautiful, attractive, and highly informative. Requirements:

  • Add at least 12 modern, well-structured sections: Introduction, Features, Tech Stack, Advanced Graphs (GitHub stats, contributions, languages), Badges, Installation, Usage, Roadmap, Community, FAQ, Support/Contact, License, and Contribution.
  • Include many professional badges (build status, coverage, last commit, contributors, issues, activity, Discord, Twitter, etc.) for visual appeal.
  • Add advanced graphs and visualizations (using shields.io, GitHub Readme Stats, or other tools) to show project health, contributions, language breakdown, and activity.
  • Showcase more features and project highlights with icons and markdown enhancements.
  • Use a table of contents, emojis, and modern formatting for easy navigation and engagement.
  • Make the README inviting for contributors, users, and recruiters.
  • Preserve all current info but improve its appearance and clarity.
