Awesome! I wrote an article directly after finding out about this myself but did not have the time to get creative on mine since then, I plan on doing some interactive stuff with html canvas, if that's even possible, but I guess it is, have you tried using advanced javascript in the README?

Cool!! I haven't tried advanced javascript yet. The widgets above do though, they just link to an external site to get the data, maybe you can try something like that?

Yeah I realised right after my comment that GitHub doesnt support javascript in Markdown. But your idea should work! Thanks!

Edit: I just realised they also block iframes so I need to do some CSS magic 😁
