Please just use text and limit yourself to one or two relevant images, so it doesn't take forever to load. Badges may look cool to some people but they are mostly just useless clutter. And if there's a single emoji in there, chances are I'll think it over before using whatever you're developing.

I agree and also feel like if you write your readme file in a way where it wouldn't be usable in a text editor by someone who merely cloned your repository or downloaded your tarball, you are simultaneously misunderstanding the point of a readme file and the point of markdown... what you want is a website :/.

(That said, this article is about your "profile", which I have never used myself, never look at from other people, and I guess don't care what other people want to put on theirs? ;P)

you can play chess on this readme profile https://github.com/timburgan

I got your point. I did't put any in my readme. You can view just for knowing what can do on readme page. don't be serious kkk

The badges are pretty useful to lots of folks.

Indeed, what the developer is listening to on Spotify really weighs heavily on my decision to fork a repo or not.

Considering that this has nothing to do with actual repository readmes, and instead about the github feature where you can have a `README.md` file for your profile, I doubt this would have any weight in your decision at all :)

I love snk. There is something magical about watching the snake devour that chart! I’d call it generative art
