🔒 Security and Privacy Benefits

This application is architected with security and privacy as foundational principles:

• Zero Data Transmission: All processing occurs entirely within the user's browser. No repository URLs, configuration data, or user inputs are transmitted to external servers or third-party services.

• No Backend Dependencies: The application operates as a purely client-side tool, eliminating server-side vulnerabilities, data breaches, and unauthorized access risks associated with backend infrastructure.

• Local Storage Isolation: No cookies, local storage, or session storage mechanisms are employed, ensuring that no user data persists beyond the current browser session.

• Transparent Code Generation: All generated embed codes are visible in plain text before copying, allowing users to audit and verify the output for security considerations.

• Self-Contained Architecture: The single HTML file contains all necessary code (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), reducing attack surface area and external dependency risks.

• CDN Usage Transparency: The application utilizes only Tailwind CSS via CDN for styling, with no tracking scripts, analytics, or third-party monitoring tools integrated.

• Open Source Auditability: The complete source code is available for public inspection, enabling security researchers and developers to verify implementation and identify potential vulnerabilities.
