Dynamic repository data is unused #67

README.md is populated only with data that is generally static (name, url, description, archived), yet this data is fetched daily.

Data that is more dynamic (forks, stars, watchers, and most recent push date) is also fetched daily, but is unused, or at least not presented here in a markdown format.

Recommendations:

Decrease frequency of data fetching, or:
Write dynamic data to README.md or a separate markdown file.

The extra fields are mostly meant to be consumed by anyone who wants a copy of the generated JSON files. I can see a case for a separate file and even static pages for more dynamic content though.

Another thing I should mention is working with the JSON files is a bit clunky due to how I structured it. That will probably change too.
