Readme Badges – Gotta catch 'em all
...It allows projects to easily embed dynamic badges in their README or documentation that reflect project metadata or external service metrics. The badges system supports different styles, icons, and dynamic links, making them visually consistent and informative. It abstracts the generation of badge SVGs so the end user doesn’t need to manually create or update image files. The project also supports caching, HTTP APIs, and format options (e.g. to serve badges dynamically or with query parameters). It is used by many open source repos to display real-time project metrics in documentation pages.
