I built a Pokémon-style GitHub profile card generator – 18 types, real-time stats, works in READMEs

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

Are you looking to add some fun and originality to your GitHub profile? I’ve recently developed a unique tool that transforms your profile statistics into an engaging, animated Pokémon-themed card—perfect for jazzing up your README and showcasing your activity.

Introducing the Pokémon-Style GitHub Profile Card Generator

This innovative solution creates visually appealing, animated profile cards for your GitHub README, incorporating the following features:

  • Variety of Pokémon Types: Choose from 18 different elemental types, including Fire, Water, Electric, Dragon, and more, to personalize your card’s appearance.
  • Real-Time Data Display: The card dynamically reflects your current GitHub stats such as followers, starred repositories, total repositories, and recent activity.
  • Seamless Integration in READMEs: Embeds directly into your README file without the need for screenshots or external hosting, ensuring your profile remains crisp and up-to-date.
  • Profile Picture Enhancement: Your avatar is embedded as a base64 image, contributing to the card’s sleek, unified design.

How to Incorporate Your Customized Card

Adding your personalized profile card is straightforward. Simply insert the following code snippet into your GitHub README, replacing YOUR_USERNAME with your GitHub username:

You can switch the type parameter to any of the available Pokémon types to match your preferred style, such as:

  • ?type=water for a Water type card
  • ?type=electric for Electric
  • ?type=dragon for Dragon

Why This Project Matters

Many existing tools require screenshots or external websites, which can be cumbersome and static. My solution generates scalable SVG images with real-time API updates, ensuring your GitHub profile remains fresh and interactive directly within README files.

Would you consider integrating a Pokémon-style profile card into your GitHub profile? I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
