## What it is
A client-side web tool that renders HTML files hosted on GitHub or BitBucket repositories without cloning or downloading them. It prepends a URL fragment to any raw HTML file link and uses a CORS proxy to bypass GitHub's text/plain content-type restriction, loading linked assets through the proxy as well.

## Use cases
- preview an HTML demo page from a GitHub repo without cloning it
- render raw HTML files that GitHub serves as plain text
- view repository documentation or examples in the browser
- preview HTML files from BitBucket repositories
- quickly check how a static page looks before setting up GitHub Pages

## When to choose
- you want to preview a single HTML file from a repo without cloning or downloading
- you need a zero-install, browser-only solution
- you want to view demos or example pages linked in READMEs

## When to avoid
- you need to host files permanently or reliably (use GitHub Pages instead)
- the page requires server-side processing or APIs blocked by CORS
- you need guaranteed availability or SLA, since it depends on a public CORS proxy
