You can put animated svgs in github markdown.

I'm not sure that would help here. How would the author easily create so an SVG from the recording of his app/component in action?

Naive conversion will result in something much larger than the gif so not address the original complaint of "large chunk of auto-download/play content on the readme page".

Sorry, I was just responding to your comment on general:

> IIRC there is no other option if you want to include animation in a GitHub readme

Not the parent.

In any case, I wonder if it can be done with an embedded `video` tag. Maybe if the video is data URI encoded it could work?
