GitHub Readme Stats

The public Vercel endpoint is best-effort and prone to rate limits and traffic spikes, forcing users to self-host for production reliability, as warned in the README's Important Notices.

Displaying private repository data requires obtaining a Personal Access Token, deploying a custom instance, and managing environment variables, adding significant setup overhead compared to public stats.

The top languages card excludes contributions to other users' repositories and is limited to the first 100 repos due to GitHub API constraints, as admitted in the documentation.

Cards have aggressive cache durations (e.g., 24 hours for stats), meaning data updates are delayed, and adjusting this requires self-hosting with CACHE_SECONDS environment variable tweaks.
