@aartaka I've never really liked running into the frequently recurring practice on GitHub where a project sidebar links to the associated GitHub Pages subdomain that you click through hoping to see something worthwhile, and it's just (often garish) HTMLified version of the same README that you click through from.

@aartaka it's gotta be one of my top README-related annoyances second only to people touching and committing empty (or near-empty) READMEs—a waste of time when you have a copy of the source tree on disk and go through the effort of opening the README. Much more interesting/useful would be if people did something like what Glench did with . And/or if people just took a cue from plain.txt.htm: (i.e. making your HTML readable as plain text).
