feat: Include Dev.to / Hashnode Latest Articles Card

[desireddymohithreddy0925]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm always frustrated when I write technical blog posts but they don't get much visibility because they aren't linked on my GitHub profile.

Describe the solution you'd like

A feature to input an RSS feed URL (or specific Dev.to/Hashnode username) and generate a dynamic SVG card or a markdown list that automatically displays the titles and links of my 3 most recent blog posts.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using GitHub Actions to run a Python script that parses the RSS feed and rewrites the README, but having it handled natively by CommitPulse would be cleaner.

Hi there! I would love to take on this issue.

This is a fantastic feature request. Relying on GitHub Actions to manually rewrite the README.md pollutes the commit history and adds unnecessary overhead, so moving this natively into CommitPulse makes a lot of sense.

Here is my high-level plan for how I'd like to implement this:

1. Input Handling: Add support in the configuration/UI to accept either a standard RSS feed URL or specific platform usernames (e.g., Dev.to, Hashnode).
2. Data Fetching & Parsing: Implement a lightweight parser to fetch the feed and extract the title, url, and potentially the date of the 3 most recent posts.
3. Output Generation:
   • Design a clean, dynamic SVG template that renders the posts directly.
   • Implement an alternative markdown list generator for users who prefer text over image cards.
4. Integration: Ensure the fetching and rendering fit cleanly within the existing CommitPulse architecture so it updates seamlessly on page load without writing to the user's repository.

Before I get started, I have two quick questions to ensure I align with the project's standards:

• Is there an existing library or pattern in CommitPulse for generating dynamic SVGs that I should hook into, or should I build a custom template from scratch?
• Should I aim to deliver both the SVG card and the Markdown list in the first PR, or prioritize one over the other?

Let me know what you think of this approach. If it sounds good, please assign this issue to me under gssoc.
