Thanks so much GitHub team for joining us as a CodeLand Patron sponsor. Really excited that you all have chosen to support us, and very excited that the community here will be able to engage with your team.
Excited to see some awesome profile READMEs from community members here 😎
Amazing!
This is seriously awesome!
I am loving the profile READMEs! I made an old coworker a collaborator on mine as a joke and he made me one... Needless to say, I had to make some changes.

Hi there, here is mine : github.com/lalawuhan/lalawuhan
I absolutely love your readme <3
Nice! I love the images Thabi. How did you go about creating the gif animation?
Thank you, I just converted short animations from mp4 to gif online. I recommend Canva animated images canva.com/join/caribbean-kasbah-ge... - search animated and there will be a few options to create a short video.
I'd love to see it! I already have a Canva account and this link is only for new Canva members. Can you please send it to me?! Thx! My GitHub is RozBarnes (and twitter)
You can do it with any canva account. Just search animations on canva
Thanks so much GitHub Team and Brian for organizing this,
Here is mine : README

Thank you Github for sponsoring this awesome conference! Loving it!
Just learned how to create a profile README and looking forward to adding bells and whistles: github.com/delphinefoo/delphinefoo
Hi! I'm really excited to be a part of this virtual conference~ As a newbie who greatly needed to be surrounded by other coders, I'm thank you guys helped sponsored it. ^^ I think this is my readme? Still haven't entirely used GitHub....><
github.com/Marlyn-suarez
There is a link in the post that shows how to create a Profile README.
TLDR; Creating a repo with your handle as the name (Marlyn-suarez) will unlock the README.
Also if you want to learn more about GItHub, checkout lab.github.com/githubtraining/intr...
Thank youuuuu!~ ^_^
Got it! github.com/Marlyn-suarez/marlyn-su... This is really cool!! Ahhh, can't wait to continue using this website~ 😄
Continuing to customize and polish this! Absolutely love the ability to showcase a little bit more of who I am.

Readme: github.com/saramccombs/saramccombs
Love the DEV integration!
Thanks Brian!!
@github I love these customisations!
I have created #myoctocat (see the tweet) and also updated my README.md file with lots of emojis. Check it out on my GitHub profile
Ohhh Dammn! That octocat creator and Readme emojis are reaaaaally dope! My profile now needs some extra jazzz
If you are into Jazz, check out github.com/natemoo-re. They were able to embed their "now playing on Spotify" into their README.
Holly molly canolly! Spotify + GitHub? that's reaaaal classy stuff

Awesome, checkout Waylon's post. It includes a few examples in the comments, just in case you would like some inspiration.
dev.to/waylonwalker/what-s-on-your...
Wow, that is an awesome profile. Definitely going to take some inspiration from it. Thank you!
Thank you for geting me to finally do this profile readme thing - I'm afraid its a bit basic today because I've got a problem with my main computer and am struggling a bit but here it is: github.com/dominicduffin1/dominicd...
Nice Dominic, what is your favorite thing about Gatsby?
I haven't really explored that much of it yet, but the official tutorials are excellent and really explain everything well so a beginner can jump straight in. So for now, that!
Excellent I am using it for my Twitch Overlay, for now, if powers static content, but it will power my chatbot soon. I love how easy it is to get a React App up and running. They also make it easy to make contributions to it.
gatsbyjs.org/contributing/how-to-c...
Here's mine: github.com/HorrorOfPartyBeach
It's pretty basic right now because I didn't even know this could be done but I'm really excited to learn more and make it look cool :)
Looks good Emma. What feature are you looking forward to in Vue3?
Thanks! I haven't had a chance to look in depth at Vue3 yet but the Composition api sounds really interesting and I heard it allows for some similar functionality to React Hooks. I'm also curious to see how Vuex and vue-router will evolve.
Wow, I didn't realize that a personal README was a thing! Just made one and I can't wait to make it even better! Also, I now love my custom Octocat! I tried to make it look like me!

No worries, It was launch 2 weeks ago and users are just now figuring out how to leverage it to share their developing journeys.
Check out this post for more examples.

Speaking of Neopets, check out my coworker's pet on their page github.com/jessrudder
This is really cool, here's my profile so far github.com/kirakirakira
"currently working on making your appliance give you a cold glass of water"
Tell me more..... Are you making sentient refrigerators?
Haha, they've always been sentient, you just have to ask nicely ;)
It was a great experience creating a profile README. Thank you Github and CodeLand for this opportunity. Looking forward to learning from comments.

The README stuff is awesome! I want to do more with this when I get the time to do so - I'll bet there's so many possibilities I can't see yet!! This is how far I got today though: github.com/Zohla
I've loved making my profile readme! Have loads more ideas, but as I've been working full time while Codeland has been happening I've not been able to execute all other them ... yet. Here's the link for what I've got so far github.com/aHudspith
Cool. Today I learn about profile README! Here's mine ->
