Recently, I discovered GitHub's new system for effectively displaying SVG content with Markdown and HTML on readme(s). With that in mind, I created a tool called <a href="https://lastfm-profile-readme.vercel.app">Last.fm Profile Readme</a>, which allows you to display an SVG image with your currently listening song details on your Github profile readme.</p> <h2> How to use </h2> <p>To display your currently listening song, add an image to your readme with the following link:</p> <p><code>https://lastfm-profile-readme.vercel.app/api/:username</code></p> <p>Replace :username with your Last.fm username. The API will return an SVG image with your currently listening song details, which can be displayed in your Github profile readme.</p> <p>Here is an example of how it should look:<br> </p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight plaintext"><code> </code></pre> </div> <p><a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--1tKsams5--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://lastfm-profile-readme.vercel.app/api/Monochromish" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--1tKsams5--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://lastfm-profile-readme.vercel.app/api/Monochromish" alt="Currently listening to" width="400" height="100"></a></p> <p>(ignore the weird font that's on Dev.to)</p> <h2> Customisation </h2> <p>You can customize the image by adding query parameters to the link:</p> <ul> <li> <code>color</code> - The color of the card (Hex color code) (Default: <code>#000</code>)</li> <li> <code>textColor</code> - The color of the text (Hex color code) (Default: <code>#fff</code>)</li> <li> <code>isRounded</code> - Whether the card should be rounded or not (Default: <code>false</code>)</li> <li> <code>displayName</code> - Whether last.fm username should be displayed or not (Default: <code>false</code>)</li> <li> <code>apiKey</code> - You can use your own Last.fm API key in case my preexisting one dies somehow</li> </ul> <p>Here is an example of how it should look with url queries:<br> </p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight plaintext"><code> </code></pre> </div> <p><a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--aHgoT3Fz--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://lastfm-profile-readme.vercel.app/api/Monochromish%3Fcolor%3D25332E%26textColor%3DD8D8D8%26isRounded%3Dtrue%26displayName%3Dtrue" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--aHgoT3Fz--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://lastfm-profile-readme.vercel.app/api/Monochromish%3Fcolor%3D25332E%26textColor%3DD8D8D8%26isRounded%3Dtrue%26displayName%3Dtrue" alt="Currently listening to" width="400" height="100"></a></p> lastfm profile readme typescript
