Description

Great project, thanks for all the work, I'm going to build one myself, but I was just wondering why the showcase section doesn't at least try to provide image previews?
It's not, you know, ***show***casing much right now.
From a visual design perspective, you could limit the height and keep it in a table.
Theoretically, you don't even have to host the images yourself (heresy, I know), but use the ones hosted on GitHub, theoretically you'd get dynamically sized images for free without the need for a server.

Here's a concept I made in 5 minutes in dev tools. It would make the section a lot more appealing and usable. The images are just normal `img` elements with `max-height: 6em`.

Research direction

Start at the repository's Showcase section and review the attached visual concept, including the proposed image previews and max-height constraint. Add previews without making the section unwieldy, then verify that the showcase renders correctly and remains usable in its current layout.
