[Feature]: Remove Medium Preview Image from Description

[nicko170]

Hey @gautamkrishnar!

Firstly, this is amazing, so thank you.

I'd like to ask about getting an option to strip the images from the description generated by Medium. Just a bit too big to be in here I think :-)

Example: https://github.com/nicko170/nicko170/blob/main/README.md

Thanks again!
