docs: reframe the README as a hobby project in alpha

Browse Source 
Rewords the framing to say what this actually is: something I build for fun and
run for a small group of friends, not a product. Tagline, alpha notice and the
"How it's built" section are rewritten in that voice, and the status heading
becomes "What works right now".

Also fixes structure inherited from the original: the what-it-is paragraph was
orphaned underneath the development-model heading, so it now sits directly after
the alpha notice, with the screenshots following and "How it's built" after
those. Stray blank-line runs removed.

Badges, tables, build instructions and the docs index are unchanged.

# OwnCord
The gaming chat platform you actually own.
A self-hosted chat app I build for me and my friends — text channels, voice and video, and a server you actually own.
> **Early Alpha / Work in Progress**
> OwnCord is in active development and is not production-ready. Expect rough edges, rapid changes, and occasional breaking behavior.
> **Alpha, and a hobby project.**
> This is something I build for fun and run for a small group of friends. It isn't a product, there's no support, and it isn't production-ready. Expect rough edges, rapid changes, and the occasional breaking change.
>
> Do not use it for sensitive communications yet.
> Don't use it for anything sensitive.
## Development Model
OwnCord is built with an AI-first development workflow.
Most implementation is generated through autonomous AI tooling, with quality validated primarily through automated checks (CI, tests, linting) and real-world feedback during alpha.
This approach enables fast iteration, but it also means behavior may change quickly between releases.
OwnCord is a self-hosted chat stack with a Go server and a Tauri desktop client.
It includes real-time messaging, voice/video via LiveKit, file sharing, and a web admin panel.
It's a Go server plus a Tauri desktop client: real-time messaging, voice/video via LiveKit, file sharing, and a web admin panel.
Run the server on a spare box or a VPS, hand your friends an invite code, and that's the whole thing.

## Current Project Status
## How it's built
Most of the implementation is generated with AI tooling, with quality held up by automated checks — CI, tests, linting — and by me and my friends actually using it.
That keeps iteration fast, and it also means behaviour can change quickly between releases.
