How this project is maintained

About 11% of issues opened in the past year have never received a reply. 89% of open issues come from outside the core team, so the backlog reflects real-world use rather than internal planning. Work labelled ":star: top issue" is answered fastest, typically in about 5 hours, while ":star: top feature" waits about 3 weeks. 61% of tracked open issues have had no activity in three months, so the open count overstates what is actively being worked. Only 51% of issues opened in the past year have been closed.

Detailed Description

GitHub Readme Stats is a serverless tool that generates dynamic statistics cards for GitHub profile readmes.

The tool solves the problem of keeping profile statistics current by generating cards on-demand that display GitHub metrics such as contributions, repositories, and other user statistics. Rather than manually updating static information in readme files, users embed a simple image URL that points to the tool's serverless backend, which fetches live data from GitHub and renders it as an SVG card. This approach keeps statistics automatically synchronized with actual GitHub activity without requiring manual updates.

The tool suits developers who want to showcase their GitHub activity on their profile readme with minimal setup. It works well for anyone building a personal brand or portfolio on GitHub who wants their statistics to reflect current activity. The tool offers customization options for card appearance and styling. The README indicates that GitHub Stats Extended and GitHub Readme Stats Action are available as alternatives, though it notes that this repository is no longer actively maintained.

The project has attracted a substantial base of adopters who report issues based on real-world usage rather than internal testing. Maintainers typically respond to new issues and pull requests within a few days. Work in the issue tracker centers on bug fixes and enhancements, with particular attention to high-priority bugs.
