count

add the count of developer portfolios links so we will know how many developers are out there ..
a rough idea for portfolio sites..
at the top of the list

@Dinesh-470 thanks for the idea. Let me put some thought into this.

Since this is just a simple markdown file this might me a little challenging

[dineshreddypaidi]

yaa, we can do you want me to create it and create a PR
everytime when a new pr is accepted. increment the base count..

@dineshreddypaidi I don't think that's a robust solution. Maybe try something like this:

async function countPortfolios() {
    let response = await fetch('https://github.com/emmabostian/developer-portfolios/raw/refs/heads/master/README.md');
    let content = await response.text();
    let count = (content.match(/^- \[/gm) || []).length;
    return count
}

or

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/emmabostian/developer-portfolios/master/README.md | grep -c "^- \[" > count.txt
echo "Last updated: $(date -u)" >> count.txt

@dineshreddypaidi and @CR072, thanks for your input

I created a pre-commit hook on my local machine to update the new banner. The count will be updated weekly when I update any broken links.

This is not perfect, but based on my current permissions to manage this repo, it works for now.
