Say, your link requires gmail auth and I don't even know if I like it or no.

Unsolicited advice:

  - Show a small subset (10 from the "...hundreds of tini ASCII creatures") for people to see. Then if user wants more, tell them to authenticate.

  - Gmail only? ...

So far you're doing everything wrong

You can't actually fully "browse" unless there is no friction at all, especially not a sign-in.

This is a page with nothing useful whatsoever, only a sign-in, the kind of thing that signals to old or new web surfers that they are not welcome.

Seems to me if anybody could actually copy anything useful with one click it would be on a regular ordinary web page, not in a private repository.
