I built a free GitHub profile README generator with no badge APIs, no backend and a 3D contribution universe

README-Glassfolio turns your GitHub username into a themed profile README (banner, stats, heatmap, 3D universe, projects) as plain SVGs in your own repo. Publish in one click, and it refreshes itself daily. Your GitHub profile is often the first thing a recruiter, a hiring manager or a possible collaborator sees. For most of us it's a contribution graph and six pinned repos. That's a missed…

ReadMe-Glassfolio offers a unique way to transform your GitHub username into a visually appealing profile README with various features. This includes customizable themes, stats, timelines, 3D contribution universes, and more—all presented as plain SVG files stored in your own GitHub repository. The generator creates the content directly from GitHub's API, avoiding reliance on external badge APIs or third-party services.

The result is a daily refreshed, self-contained profile that works well in both light and dark modes, ensuring a consistent user experience.
