[Feature]: Allow GitAscii to list Minimal GitHub Stats as an external widget

Problem or limitation

GitAscii is an open-source visual editor for GitHub profile READMEs that allows users to combine different widgets in a single interface.

I'd like to include Minimal GitHub Stats as one of the available external widgets. This would simply make it easier for users to discover and configure your project from GitAscii.

This wouldn't require any code changes or API changes in this repository. I'm mainly asking if you're okay with GitAscii listing and linking to this project as an official external widget.

Proposed solution

If you're okay with it, I'd add Minimal GitHub Stats as an external widget inside GitAscii.

The widget would:

• Link back to this repository.
• Clearly indicate that it is an external project.
• Keep all rendering and generation handled by your project.
• Give proper attribution.

No modifications to this repository would be required.

Example configuration or output

Example:

Widget: Minimal GitHub Stats
Source: https://github.com/antonisloukis/minimal-github-stats

Users would configure it through GitAscii and the generated README would use the URLs provided by this project, with attribution and a link back to the repository.

Alternatives considered

The alternative is to simply let users manually copy and paste the widget URLs.

Having it available directly in GitAscii would improve discoverability while still directing users to the original project.

Expected impact on simplicity

Very small

Project principles

• This feature can work without an externally hosted statistics-card service.
• This feature can remain understandable for beginners.
• I searched existing issues and requests before submitting this.

Contribution

• I may be willing to implement this feature.

Hi @Igorcbraz,

Thank you for reaching out and for your interest in Minimal GitHub Stats.

I'm happy for GitAscii to list Minimal GitHub Stats as an external widget, provided that:

• It clearly identifies Minimal GitHub Stats as an external project.
• It links back to this repository.
• It uses the documented widget URLs and configuration.
• Proper attribution is preserved.
• It does not imply an official affiliation or endorsement beyond this integration.

No changes to this repository are required from my side.

Please feel free to proceed, and link the GitAscii pull request here when it is available so I can follow the integration.

Thanks!
