This is strange. I chanced upon the following package:

https://crates.io/crates/alloc_counter

Crates.io claims it has no README.md though the repo and the docs.rs source view^[1] both show it does. Moreover, docs.rs in turn claims that

alloc_counter-0.0.4 doesn't have any documentation.

and only shows its own (little-known) crate page which does display the README without problems. However, the lib.rs does have doc comments.^[2]

Oh, and Discourse said about the crates.io link:

Sorry, we were unable to generate a preview for this web page, because the web server returned an error code of 404. Instead of a preview, only a link will appear in your post.

which is also interesting.

1. Distinct from the source view you get by clicking on "source" in the API docs. Yes, docs.rs has two different source views. ↩︎

2. Though its module-level doc seems to be gated behind a non-default rustdoc feature ↩︎
