The link for MiniProfiler.AspNetCore.Mvc points to

But should I think link to

https://miniprofiler.com/dotnet/AspDotNetCore

Found this via your YouTube talk of same name by the way. Great work

One thing I really miss in the list is adding an EditorConfig file to the solution. It makes collaboration much easier when it comes to various coding styles like spaces vs tabs, ordering of using or the use of var in C#.
