Enhance README: Shields to capture the attention of potential contributors

devactivity-team commented 4 months ago

I noticed you have opened issues labeled help wanted. I recommend enhancing the README to make the call for new contributors more prominent.

Changes Made:

Shields: Added Shields.io badges at the top of the README

Why This Matters:

Attract New Contributors: Considering there is a number of opened issues labeled 'Help Wanted' - a welcoming and appealing README is one of the most efficient ways to attract new contributors

I also suggest enhancing the README with the following widgets using devActivity app:

1. Dynamic Top Contributors (with avatars linked to contributor profiles)

2. Repo Stats

Feel free to explore the Live Demo and Public Dashboard for a quick overview of the app. It makes the contribution process more exciting with gamification elements like:

🌟 XP and Levels based on contributions
🏆 Challenges and Achievements
🏅 Leaderboard and much more!

Latest repositories using devActivity: barecheck (⭐55)

Simply install an app to bring a more comprehensive and engaging community experience.

🌟 Happy Coding! 🌟
