    :zap: Dynamically generated stats for your github readmes

  • Almost everyone on GitHub uses Anurag’s GitHub-Readme-Stats, and I use it too. So I recommend checking out that repository and reading the well-written documentation to know everything about Adding and Customizing your GitHub Stats. As I said, the documentation is well-written so no need of writing a tutorial here.

    Concise, consistent, and legible badges in SVG and raster format

  • There are many resources online that you can use to do so, but one tool that is widely used all over GitHub is Shields.io. Its interface may look a little confusing if you are visiting it for the first time, but don’t worry, you will learn it with time. This resource is built mainly for Projects, and therefore 99% of the stuff present there is of no use for now in making your Profile Readme.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
