Hello, yesterday I've spent some hours in building mine. That dev.to post inspired me as well. I approached a minimalistic profile, because I want a better showcase to my pinned repositories.

So, I researched lots of other profiles to find minimalistic icons, and I've stumbled on:

  • these for the Social Media ones, which can be integrated like this:

    <a href="https://www.mixcloud.com/radu-alexandru7" target="_blank"><img align="center" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/simple-icons@3.0.1/icons/mixcloud.svg" alt="RaduAlexandru" height="28" width="28" /></a>&nbsp;

  • and Shields.io for technologies... however it's easier to generate a badge by writing in the link directly, like:

    ![Sublime Text](https://img.shields.io/badge/-Sublime-555555?style=flat&logo=sublime-text)

    where the first field is the name, then the 555555 color, and the logo name (which can be found here).

Maybe someone will like this style. Have a nice day!

Nicely done, lots of overloaded markdown files out there. Solid compromise here 👍
