DEV to Github profile assistant

Github released a new feature that let's you create your resume/profile. I have made a README.MD generator that fetches your profile's Name, bio and recent 5 articles.

Here is my profile preview

To create a profile simply use your username as repository's name. You will be greeted with this

Greet

Go get your profile's README here http://github.anoram.com/
The Generated MD looks like this.

Generated MD

Update 1:

  • Fixed a bug not able to generate MD.
  • Code doesn't break if inputs are bad.
  • Adds dynamic profile badge and followers badge.

There's a problem with https://visitor-badge.glitch.me/badge?page_id=mzaini30.mzaini30: This project has received too many requests, please try again later.

What about this: https://visitor-badge.laobi.icu/badge?page_id=mzaini30.mzaini30 (It's still working)

Add feature: What if you add this text in end of line:

This profile is generated by [Anoram](http://github.anoram.com/)

I would but I just don't want to add a small ad on their profile, some might consider it bitter.

I love dev community 🤗 and I just let it be.

What if this:

<!-- tools: github.anoram.com -->

This is very useful if I'll generate again but forgot the profile generator website 😂

Nice one! That is a really cool idea :) I might take it further and set it up as a Cloud Function and on a timer or hook somehow such that it keeps it up to date.

Ideally, I'm going to move to storing/writing my DEV posts in Github anyway, so could be a nice round trip.

Surely I am also working on it to make them dynamic. Glad you like this idea.

Random Quick Idea: You can have a "Update Latest" button in ReadMe, that would:

  • create a new issue in that repos
  • run Github action when an issue is created
  • fetches article and updates the ReadMe

Very cool! I also made a Pipedream workflow that updates the README dynamically, as soon as you publish a new post: dev.to/dylburger/show-your-most-re... .

Mine only displays the most recent post, but you can modify the workflow to display the most recent 5, if you'd like.

Hi Zen,

Thanks for trying it out and finding bugs.
I am not sure what could be the problem on your side it seems to work for me.

I believe it has something to do with the browser, I just tested with chrome and edge for android and on my browser on PC. They seem to work.
