🐛 BUG: DevCard instructions do not give the intended results.

[StephenDShelby]

What went wrong? 🤔

Replacing francescociulla in the Read.me with my own GitHub ID does not result in a devcard.png being generated and displayed on my GitHub page.

<a href="https://app.daily.dev/francescociulla">
<img src="./devcard.png" width="356" alt="Francesco's Dev Card"/>
</a>

This code creates a link to my reading statistics on daily.dev.

https://app.daily.dev/my_id

The only way to get the devcard.png to be generated is by using the code with the secret.png that is generated when generating a DevCard.

<a href="https://app.daily.dev/my_id">
<img src="https://api.daily.dev/devcards/v2/secret.png?type=default&r=dym" width="356" alt="my name's Dev Card"/>
</a>

Expected Behavior

I expected that the DevCard would be generated on my GitHub page.

Steps to Reproduce Issue

1. Follow the instructions on the following web page:

If you go to the DevCard page, you'll see a section about embedding the DevCard on your GitHub profile. Inside there there's a code snippet that you can use, it includes all you need.
I see you also have the GitHub action added to your repository, however I think you have set the wrong value of the USER_ID, you can find that value, either in the code snippet mentioned above (starts with s5b...), or you can find it on https://api.daily.dev/id

[omBratteng]

The code snippet is something like this

<a href="https://app.daily.dev/ombratteng"
  <img src="https://api.daily.dev/devcards/v2/XDCZD-PHG.png?type=default&r=paz" width="356" alt="Ole-Martin's Dev Card"/>
</a>

The first URL is the link to my profile, that should have your username. The second one is the link to the actual DevCard png. There you should have your userId, which mentioned, can be found in the code snippet or on https://api.daily.dev/id

The code snippet that works on GitHub is the following: <a href="https://app.daily.dev/stephen_shelby"> <img src="https://api.daily.dev/devcards/v2/s5bC13ZSG.png?type=default&r=t45" width="356" alt="Stephen Shelby's Dev Card"/> </a> But the instructions state that I should insert the following code snippet: <a href="https://app.daily.dev/ stephen_shelby "> <img src="./devcard.png" width="356" alt=" Stephen Shelby's Dev Card "/> </a> This last code snippet does not work.

I should have said in the last email that I sent that I thought we needed to somehow hide the secret and not include the secret in the link. Stephen Shelby Konttikatu 3 B 27 20780 Kaarina, Finland ***@***.***
