A few months ago, GitHub introduced a feature that lets you create a custom README.md that shows on your profile homepage. I have known about this feature since it was first released but because I haven't been using GitHub very much of late (well, the desktop interface anyway) I have not given the custom README.md feature much thought. However, it came to mind and I decided to try and create my own README.md for my profile.
After a discussion with Tantek in the IndieWeb chat [1], I decided to do more work towards my "own your links" project. My first pass at this was to create /github/ and /instagram/ links on this domain that take you to my GitHub and Instagram pages, respectively. The idea is that I can refer people to my profiles by using a link that I own rather than pointing to the platform-first link. It's a small difference but one that I care about.
