in plain english

Rikka GitHub Stats generates a custom, anime themed image card that shows statistics from a GitHub profile, such as repository count, followers, stars, forks, and join date. The card is drawn as an SVG image with gradient progress bars for each stat and the user's GitHub avatar embedded directly in the image, so nothing else needs to load. It is designed to be self hosted on Vercel rather than run on your own server. Using it is simple: you add one image link to your GitHub profile README, pointing at the hosted service with your GitHub username as a parameter. The card then updates automatically each time it is viewed, since it pulls live data from the GitHub REST API rather than a cached snapshot, with results cached for one hour to keep load reasonable. Two color themes are included out of the box: the default purple and teal anime style, and a darker blue and pink alternative, chosen with a theme parameter in the link. Anyone who wants their own version can deploy it for free by forking the repository and importing it into a new Vercel project. Vercel detects that it is a Python project automatically, without needing a vercel.json configuration file, then deploys it as a serverless function. The project intentionally avoids using a web framework like Flask, instead building the server directly with Python's built in http.server module, which keeps the deployment lightweight. The tool runs on Python 3.11 or newer as a Vercel serverless function, and produces its output as an SVG image with an inline base64 encoded avatar rather than linking to an external image. It is released under the MIT license, so it can be freely reused, modified, or redeployed by anyone.
