Nomlings: a pixel pet that lives in your GitHub README and feeds on commits

Nomlings is an open-source badge you drop into any GitHub README that renders an animated pixel pet which grows or reacts based on your commit activity. It's a lightweight, self-hosted novelty that gives profile READMEs something interactive without requiring a third-party service. For indie devs who treat their GitHub profile as a living portfolio, it's a low-effort way to show consistent shipping habits.
