Problem
Currently, Skyline offers embedding via iFrame, which is not supported in GitHub Profile READMEs. This limits users' ability to showcase their contribution visualization in their GitHub profiles, as GitHub's security restrictions prevent iFrame rendering in markdown files.
Proposed Solution
Implement a feature to export the Skyline visualization as an animated GIF. This would:
- Allow users to directly embed their Skyline visualization in their GitHub Profile README
- Maintain the visual appeal of the 3D contribution graph
- Provide a lightweight alternative to the interactive iFrame
Implementation Suggestions
- Add a "Download as GIF" button next to the existing embed options
- Generate a smooth 360° rotation animation of the contribution graph
- Include a link to the live Skyline version for interactive exploration
- Optimize GIF size and quality for GitHub README display
Additional Considerations
- GIF resolution and file size optimization
- Animation duration and rotation speed
- Option to customize animation parameters
- Fallback link to the live version for interactive exploration
Would love to hear the community's thoughts on this proposal.
