Peerlist is a community of working professionals focused on building a personal brand, sharing professional content, and finding peers to collaborate with. A Peerlist profile can be used as a simple resume or a complete portfolio to showcase your work. You can style your README.md with an awesome Peerlist markdown badge. This has now been integrated into the official Peerlist platform, try it out here: peerlist.io/tools/readme-badge

:arrow_down: Below are a few examples:

Peerlist User	Badge
Akash Bhadange
Pranjal Bareth

Vinit Shahdeo

[!WARNING] The author might be biased above, but you get the point! 😉

Replace vinitshahdeo in the markdown with your Peerlist username. Get a Peerlist profile here if you don't have one already!

Additionally it supports the styles. To use a different style: Replace flat-square in the markdown with any of the styles below. :point_down:
