For social and content embedding, it includes built-in social buttons for Email, LinkedIn, GitHub, Behance, StackExchange, StackOverflow, PayPal, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram, Vine, Tumblr, Skype, SoundCloud, Spotify, YouTube, Vimeo, etc., as well as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn share buttons; it supports responsive embeds for YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud and Twitter, and GitHub Gist, with comments using the Disqus hosted service.

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.
