Introducing Blog Stats Generator: Auto-Updating Blog Cards for Dev.to

Introducing Blog Stats Generator: Auto-Updating Blog Cards for Dev.to

Hello 👋,

I recently built a side project to showcase my Dev.to blogging stats — and it’s live on Product Hunt! 🚀

Intro

As someone who loves writing on Dev.to and tracking my blogging journey, I always wanted an easy way to showcase my progress — things like post counts, reactions, top tags, and more.

So, I built Blog Stats Generator 🎉

What It Does

  • 📊 Generates auto-updating blog stats cards

  • 🎨 Multiple themes (Default, Dev.to Light, Dracula, Night Owl, etc.)

  • 🔗 Copy Markdown/HTML snippets to use in GitHub READMEs or blogs

  • ✅ No login required — just enter your Dev.to username


Why I Built It

I wanted something simple and clean to:

  • Track my own blogging progress

  • Embed in my GitHub profile

  • Share milestones with my community

It was also inspired by github-readme-stats built by @anuraghazra.


Try It Out

👉 Live app: https://blog-stats-generator.vercel.app

👉 GitHub Repo: https://github.com/skarthikeyan96/blog-stats-generator


Product Hunt Launch 🚀

I’m super excited to share that I just launched this project on Product Hunt today!

If you find it useful, I’d love your support ❤️

👉 Check it out on Product Hunt


Next Steps

  1. Add the integration for Hashnode and Medium

  2. More theme options

  3. Shareable social previews


Conclusion

That’s it for now! I’d love to hear your feedback on the application in the comments 🙌

And if you try it, let me know how you’re using your blog stats card!
