…der the preview Keep the YouTube thumbnail preview as-is; swap the plain text link beneath it for a self-hosted SVG button (docs/demo/watch-demo-button.svg) plus a one-line payoff caption. No GIF, no mp4.

You looked at the GIF hero and didn't want it, so this reworks the PR in the new direction: keep the current YouTube thumbnail preview, and turn the plain text "Watch the demo" link under it into a real button that pulls clicks.
What changed
main(the clickablemaxresdefaultimage → the video).▶ Watch the demotext link beneath it for a proper button CTA: red, rounded, a play ▶ glyph, bold "Watch the full demo" — links to the same video.The button
It's a self-hosted SVG committed in the repo at
docs/demo/watch-demo-button.svg(no external services, no tracking). I pushed it and confirmed it renders on GitHub as a real image — you can see it live in the README on this branch, it's not a broken image.Supporting line under the button
One alternative if you'd rather lower the entry cost:
Why this should convert better than the old text link
A button reads as a clear thing to click, and the line right under it tells a skimming developer exactly what they'll get and how little time it costs — a plain underlined link does neither.
Files
README.md— the two hero lines (thumbnail kept; text link → button + caption).docs/demo/watch-demo-button.svg— new button asset.Yours to review and merge — nothing is merged.
