 > Currently users get a broken experience when trying out plugins that,
 for example, require the mbstring extension.

 This was pushed live to ALL plugin despite this fact, that's really
 disturbing. WP has such a challenging reputation when it comes to
 stability because of the plugin ecosystem, and now we're giving live
 previews to the world that are broken even though the plugins themselves
 are NOT broken.

 Please implement a Demo link url in the readme like @Ajay recommended
 above and only show the button if a url is present. Makes it opt-out by
 default like @lesleysim recommended and gives plugin authors control over
 this experience. This would improve the experience for users 10-fold.
