See https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-apps/blob/master/urbit/umbrel-app.yml#L7-L20
tagline: Run Urbit on your Umbrel
description: >-
Urbit is a personal server for self-sovereign personal & networked
computing. Nock, a functional combinator, is built into Hoon, a system
programming language, used to implement Arvo, a deterministic operating
system, that communicates over Ames, a decentralized, encrypted P2P network.
This app helps you boot and manage Urbit instances on your Umbrel. It provides a simple management GUI, start and stop operations, and passes your +code through the interface.

Perhaps if you already know what Urbit is, this circular-definition of a tagline and jargon-fueled description make sense. But people who already know what it is don't need the description. The description should be grokkable by people who don't already know what Urbit is (like me!).
Since I don't know what it is and have never used it, I am not qualified to write the tagline or description. However here is an AI generated one that feels like it makes more sense:
tagline: Own your data, run your apps, and connect with others on your personal digital server
description: >-
Urbit is a new way of using computers and the internet that tries to give people more control over their digital
lives. Instead of relying on
big companies to store your information and run your apps, Urbit lets you do all of this on your own "digital
space." This space is called a "ship," and it's like your own private island on the internet. You can use it to talk
to friends, store files, and run apps without worrying about your data being used by others. Urbit is built from
scratch to be more secure and private than the regular internet. While it's still being developed and improved,
the goal of Urbit is to create an internet where people have more freedom and control over their online
activities.
Someone should update the description, and perhaps use the AI one here if it's correct.
