## Description

**Desdinova Game Card Embed From Itch.io** is block for indie game developers, bloggers,
and gaming journalists who want to showcase itch.io game cards seamlessly on WordPress.

Paste your game URL, and the plugin automatically fetches game data via REST API
to build a clean, interactive iframe widget.

### 🌟 Key Features

 * **Auto Data Fetching:** Just paste the itch.io URL and click generate.
 * **Custom Color Palette:** Adjust background, text, link, and border colors to
   match your theme.
 * **Dark Theme Toggle:** Instantly switch between light and dark embed styles.
 * **Independent Side Padding:** Fine-tune top, right, bottom, and left margins 
   separately.
 * **Gutenberg Native:** Features an official itch.io branded icon in the block 
   inserter.
 * **Lightweight & Fast:** Zero heavy external libraries loaded on the frontend.

### External Services

This plugin embeds game cards and content directly from itch.io via an iframe element
to display game information and previews inside posts and pages.

 * **Service Used:** itch.io Embed Service (provided by itch corp)
 * **Purpose:** Loading and displaying interactive game cards, themes, and metadata
   inside the Gutenberg editor and on the public site.
 * **Data Transmitted:** When a page containing an itch.io embed is loaded by a 
   visitor (or rendered in the editor), the user’s browser sends a standard HTTP
   request to `https://itch.io`. This includes the user’s IP address, user-agent
   details, and standard HTTP headers required to serve the embedded content.
