Awesome! I wrote an article directly after finding out about this myself but did not have the time to get creative on mine since then, I plan on doing some interactive stuff with html canvas, if that's even possible, but I guess it is, have you tried using advanced javascript in the README?
svg + styling is the way to go
Cool!! I haven't tried advanced javascript yet. The widgets above do though, they just link to an external site to get the data, maybe you can try something like that?
Yeah I realised right after my comment that GitHub doesnt support javascript in Markdown. But your idea should work! Thanks!
Edit: I just realised they also block iframes so I need to do some CSS magic 😁
Awesome!!
Hey, Jaye Hernandez!
Thank you for this article. I am trying to add these elements to my readme. But I am troubling in the image element.
I checked your repository, I found this image tag in the readme -
In this, I changed your name to my GitHub username, but still, the image is not showing up, I think it's because of the big ID
/3f5402efef9a0ae89211a6e04609558e862ca616/
in the path. Can you tell me what's that Id is so that I can fix it for me?PS: I have also created a readme folder, so the rest of the path is same for me.
Thank you. :)
You’ll have to right click on the actual image itself and select “Copy image URL”. The URL you should be given is the one that starts with raw.githubusercontent.com/.
Let me know how it goes!
Yup! It worked. Thank you for replying. 😊❤️

Awesome!
I built a header image generator which you can also use in your profile READMEs, more info at dev.to/khalby786/reheader-github-p....
How did you get a banner like that. Any online tool. Please let me know.
I used Figma to create my banner, but you can use any other online photo editor. I recommend Canva as they have a library of great templates.
