Would it be possible to replace the broken images in the readme of this project?

I don't think there's anything special about the README. The hosted Vercel instance is simply down for now. See #4658.

Yes. That's very common with the stats card widgets. As such would it not make more sense to have static images / svgs. It's not exactly transient it will happen again, a lot. In my experience.

Or like a fallback static image/svg when the backend is down maybe?

I do agree with that, if the recent image is down, at least display the last generated image

I agree with that. It makes the project way better

Maybe also not only for the readme.md but project wide as well? Like if my widget goes down, like every other day 😅. Then it could fallback to some hosted image somewhere, of the latest state. like some GitHub cache or smth. I dunno how hard this would be or if it's even feasible, but it would stabilise things. Currently I took down most of the widgets that kept failing. Going back to smaller widgets like shield.io badges and my own custom GitHub Action based hosted widgets.
