When used with hide_border=true it shows the error Failed to retrieve contributions. This is likely a GitHub API issue

Browser - Vivaldi

Tested three Markdowns apps to see if the issue persisted - stackedit.io, markdownlivepreview, dillinger.io.

Only when I add &hide_border=true the bug appears

When there is a lot of traffic to the Heroku server, the GitHub API seems to stop sending back content and the responses become very slow.

To avoid this issue, I recommend self-hosting the project. There are steps in the readme, I recently added a new method for deploying with Vercel entirely online. It's free and shouldn't take more than a couple minutes to set up.

It should also start working on its own, but there isn't much I can do to prevent it from going down in the future, so self-hosting is still an option to get it to stay up more reliably.

When I tried to helf-host with Vercel it showed an error. Here is the screen shot of the error

Try this maybe?

In the vercel project settings, change the node version to 18.x from the default of 20.x

This works. Thanks!
