I am showing the image of the titles of my recent 5 blog posts on my GitHub home page automatically. I did it using the Azure Function, Azure is Love, right?

Custom dynamic Github home page

Introduction

GitHub recently introduced an option to customize our profile by giving a separate magical repository. This repository name should be the same as your username, for example, https://github.com/SibeeshVenu/sibeeshvenu. This is how you can find this secret repository.

Now opens an endless opportunity that you can do to your GitHub home page, for example, I am showing the image of the titles of my recent 5 blog posts on my home page automatically. I did it using the Azure Function which will return the image and all I had to do in this repository, was to use it. Overall it was fun.
