🎨 Profile README templates — pick one, make it yours

Your profile README (username/username repo) is your GitHub business card. These templates are battle-tested patterns — copy the structure, fill in your content.

## Hi! I'm building **X** — tagline.

🧩 Building blocks

Widget	URL
Stats cards	github-readme-stats.vercel.app
Typing SVG	readme-typing-svg.demolab.com
Streak stats	streak-stats.demolab.com
Skill icons	skillicons.dev
Snake animation	github-contribution-grid-snake

💡 Pro tips

• Keep it under ~30 lines — nobody scrolls
• One strong project link > five weak ones
• Pin your best 6 repos underneath — they're part of the card

🎯 Templates by persona

The OSS Maintainer

Minimal hero, pinned repos do the talking. Stats card + "currently maintaining" list. Signals: credibility, activity.

The Job Hunter

Skills matrix up top, featured projects with live demos, recruiter-friendly summary. Signals: hireable, current.

The Builder

What I'm building now / what's shipped. Changelog energy. Signals: momentum.

The Community Hub

Links out, curation, resource lists (like this profile's repo showcase). Signals: network value.

🧩 Widgets that actually matter

Widget	Source	Worth it?
Stats card	github-readme-stats	✅ Instant credibility
Streak	streak-stats.demolab.com	✅ If you commit daily
Trophies	github-profile-trophy	⚠️ Fun, noisy
Snake game	Platane/snk	⚠️ Gimmick, people like it
Visitor count	komarev	❌ Vanity metric
WakaTime	wakatime badge	✅ If real data
Recent activity	readme-activity	✅ Shows aliveness

🚫 Anti-patterns

• Wall of badges: >15 tech logos reads as noise, not depth. Curate to your actual stack.
• Random anime header: unless it's your brand, skip.
• Auto-generated "about me" that lists technologies you touched once.
• Broken counters: if a badge 404s, it signals abandonment.
