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
If anyone's looking for inspiration here are ten really nice profile READMEs seen in the wild 😍

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.

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
@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
Here's mine... nothing special! I actually just created it and I'm going to work on it this weekend

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.
