I just tried out this feature and I absolutely LOVE it. I have one small
suggestion for improvement, however. If you could make the links blue
instead of black, this would make them stand out a little better. Black, to
me, means static text and at first they did not appear clickable.

This isn't a big deal but if you're open to the suggestion I'd like to see
the color changed :)

Thanks for this! I really dig it!
