Show the list of contributors on README

better if it is automated.

I'd like to try this. Is it ok, if I just create a new js file under js folder called contributors.js and add a script to package.json called say generateContributors? Then we can run npm generateContributors and that alone should update readme file(and add new contributors to the end). You could later on set up a cron job to run this npm generateContributors script to update as and when a new contribution occurs or on a daily or a weekly basis(as I believe from their documentation, the github api takes some time to update new contributions since they are cached).

There are many npm packages already available to do this. But it'll become a manual approach in this way.

Check contribution list on Fast XML Parser. Opencollective API let you show list of contributors automatically, if you're register there. But that can be happened only when we've 100 stars on this repo.

I couldn't find other solution.

BTW Didn't you sleep today?

Haha, well I did sleep. :P

No idea about opencollective. I guess there are other APIs out there, but I thought this was simple enough to do it with vanilla nodejs.

Either way, if anyone else would like to take this issue up, they can. :)

I thought to implement opencollective API but it needs server to render SVG. Hence I was looking for an alternative.

Or we can merge your PR until we find the better solution.

[rohitkrishna094]

True, without a server we can't do much. I just closed my PR. Let me reopen it and you can decide to merge it after maybe waiting for few days in case someone comes up with another alternative.

[amitguptagwl]

Merged the PR. Let this issue be open for next few days for more solutions.

I hope you would like to change your Avatar now.
