A lot of times README doesn’t adequately convey the value of (especially UI-oriented) libraries. And the UX of linking out to formats that do is also terrible (I’m saying this as someone who does a lot of library research on my porch using my phone, constantly forgetting my breadcrumb trail because I’ve been bounced back and forth between the GH app and a few dozen browser tabs).
There’s definitely a valid use case for more visually expressive walk up experiences for many code projects that could and IMO should be supported at the repository host level. It doesn’t have to be myspace but it could definitely support more embedded example cases and at least some personality.
