I loved this. I am still trying to learn if I can change the font color and background color because I would prefer my bio presented as darkmode:
github.com/Pythonidaer

Chris Bongers • Dec 8 '20

Interesting idea, not sure what you could inject to make those adjustments.
You could use a text-white class to make the text white, I'm not sure what the background class is for GitHub.
