I just updated mine with a list of latest Twitter followers, using GitHub actions.

That’s a great idea! Have you open-sourced the GH action?

I actually tried to spend two evenings coming up with a web app that could use handlebarjs to generate a Github profile for someone. So far I've got one really basic template down but it's open for expansion. What do you guys think?

Thanks Stefan! I'll have a go at adding some more useful templates to choose from and a contribution guide in the meanwhile :)

Hey Stefan!
First time reading this 'week in review' posts and I'm already finding several gold nuggets!

I also updated my own GitHub profile repo not as cool-looking as yours lol.

I'm putting that Seth's book on my reading list, he has really good content. I'm currently reading 'The Infinite Game' by Simon Sinek. Didn't have much hype for it but I'm loving it more and more as I continue reading.

On another note, I've been enjoying being useful in contributing to the Foam repo last week.

Cheers!

Hi Juan,

it is nice to meet you. Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate that.

Don't be so humble, yours looks great too.

Thanks for the book recommendation. I put it onto my reading list now.

Wow, Foam looks promising. Thank you for the link, gotta test it.

Cheers,
Stefan

Thanks for spreading the word about creating presentations from Notion via Wunderpresentation.

By the way, now it's also possible to create presentations from Markdown via: wunderpresentation.com/markdown
