I love this project, massive respect to the maintainers. For my own particular use case, I wanted to use the repo/pins card to display information about repositories. I found them really lacking relative to the stats cards, and it seems to me that this repo/project is primarily aimed at users, and maybe secondarily at a user's interactions with a repo. I would like to have cards that are just about repos - like pins, but with the same flexibility, richness of metrics, etc., as the stats cards. Personally, I maintain a repo where I have a big list of other repos, so I forked this project and have been using it for that purpose. Is there sufficient interest in having a project that gives repos the status of "first-class citizens"? Rich metrics like open issues, PRs, age of the repo, activity, number of contributors, etc., so much data you could display. Plus, incorporating all the lovely stylization that is somewhat restricted or specialized to the stats cards, which AFAICT are the main focus of this repo.
If you are interested in this kind of thing, please let me know, please go and comment/upvote on the Issue and the corresponding PR, and maybe even check out my fork where I implemented this, and one particular use case where it has come in handy.
I can imagine a lot of use cases for a card that gives you information and maybe even a letter grade about a REPO itself - not a repo just as something that you pin on a personal profile. But, then again, maybe this is mostly of interest to awesome-list maintainers 🤣 and not many others.
