Github has a 'secret' repo feature that can be used to create a cool README for your Profile. If you are like me, you probably already knew about it but were too lazy to actually write Markdown and create a README.

I used Python and Streamlit to build a web app that takes a few inputs from the users (you) and generates a cool README. The app also contains an editor in case you want to make adjustments to your README.

Below is the repo for the app
github.com/rahulbanerjee26/githubProfileRea..

Below is an example README Generated
github.com/rahulbanerjee26/rahulbanerjee26
