Features

Converts remote videos hosted on GitHub (or elsewhere)

It automatically converts remote videos hosted on GitHub from your markdown files, or other type of remote URLs pointing to videos ending on mp4 or mov, into HTML videos

For instance:

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/example_video.mov

// Gets transformed into ↓

<video width="400" controls style="margin-bottom: 16px">
    <source src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/example_video.mov" type="video/mp4">
</video>

Replaces remote snack URLs with an embedded playground in your websites.

https://snack.expo.dev/@rgommezz/layoutanimation => Any apperance of a link like this in your markdown gets replaced with the playground shown in the screenshot below
