Tired of flat, outdated profile banners on GitHub? Want a beautiful, auto-updating visual showcasing your real achievements, contributions, and personality—without endless configuration?
Meet OpenReadme (openreadme.vercel.app): a modern, open-source project by Open Dev Society that helps devs, students, and organizations create stunning, live-updating README banners in just a few clicks.
Why We Built OpenReadme (openreadme.vercel.app)
Navigating the world of developer portfolios and project READMEs, we noticed a recurring problem: most tools were either too static, too complex, or lacked feature-rich styling and customization.
We wanted something:
- Simple enough for newcomers but powerful for advanced users
- Beautiful by default, with customizable themes and layouts
- Always up to date—no need for manual image creation or stat updates
- Open-source and friendly for contributions
Enter OpenReadme (openreadme.vercel.app) – designed by devs, for devs.
What Makes OpenReadme Stand Out?
🚀 One-Click Beautiful READMEs
- Effortlessly fill out your profile details via a dashboard
- Multiple bento-style grid layouts—choose what fits your vibe
- Support for your GitHub, social links, portfolio, and more
📈 Live Stats, Always Fresh
- Automatic daily updates—your profile banner regenerates itself every midnight UTC
- Show off your latest stats: commits, stars, issues, PRs
- No more outdated “snapshot” pictures—your README always reflects your journey
🌐 API-First & Dev Friendly
- RESTful API to generate images for ANY use-case
- Serverless architecture, fast delivery, and smooth integration

How It Works
