Enhance Your GitHub Profile with a Pokémon-Inspired Dynamic Profile Card Generator

Are you looking to add some personality and interactivity to your GitHub profile? I’m excited to introduce a custom-built, Pokémon-themed profile card generator designed to elevate your README presentation with animated visuals and live data integration.

What’s This Tool All About?

Our innovative generator allows you to craft eye-catching, animated profile cards that seamlessly embed into your GitHub README. It offers:

  • A selection from 18 distinct Pokémon types, allowing you to customize your card’s style to match your personality or brand
  • Real-time display of your GitHub stats, including followers, repository count, star counts, and recent activity
  • Direct embedding in your README files, eliminating the need for external screenshots or hosting
  • Incorporation of your profile picture as a base64-encoded image for a sleek, self-contained design

Getting Started

Adding your personalized card is straightforward. Simply insert the following Markdown snippet into your README, replacing YOUR_USERNAME with your actual GitHub username and selecting your preferred Pokémon type:

markdown
![My GitHub Profile](https://animated-profile-stats.vercel.app/api/card?username=YOUR_USERNAME&type=fire)

You can customize the Pokémon type by changing the type parameter:

  • Fire: ?type=fire
  • Water: ?type=water
  • Electric: ?type=electric
  • Dragon: ?type=dragon

Why I Developed This Solution

Unlike many existing profile badge tools that rely on static images or external hosting, this generator produces a dynamic SVG that fetches live data directly from the GitHub API. It ensures your profile remains engaging and up-to-date without additional effort or external dependencies.
