We've just published an important security fix for self-hosting users. If you host your own instance of Shields, upgrade now. Users of shields.io are unaffected. If you know of anyone self-hosting Shields, please spread the word! github.com/badges/shields…

Notice anything different since Sunday? We've migrated the service to Heroku, and it's blazingly fast! Thanks a ton for their support! 🙏 You can read more about this major change here: github.com/badges/shields…

The Shields documentation is one of the best I have seen. A README with clear instructions on how to start working on the project, contributing guidelines pointing to a tutorial, coding guidelines and even a high-level code walkthrough. Everything I needed and more, bravo!

Quite a lot of developers use video platforms to share tutorials, presentations, coding sessions, etc. We now have a YouTube badge for you! Check it out! img.shields.io/youtube/likes/…

We appreciate our sponsors on Open Collective! Thanks for helping us keep the service running 💖

Big thanks to Mason and night! I recently worked with them on improving the Discord integration with Shields, they were both very helpful and friendly. Keep up the good work! 👏

We now support version badges for Scoop, the popular command-line installer for Windows! E.g. img.shields.io/scoop/v/ngrok Thanks to Cédric Luthi ▶️ @[email protected] for the initial contribution and Pierre-Yves Bigourdan for helping land things! 🎉

Second new badge of the week, contributed by Zoran Luledzija! We can now display translation progress for your Localizely projects! 🇬🇧🇪🇸🇫🇷

Interested in application performance? We now have a badge for criterion.dev, thanks to Thomas Cross for his contribution! 🙌 Example: img.shields.io/criterion/chmo…

If you're an open-source project maintainer, did you know you can easily keep track of Hacktoberfest contributions with a nice Shields badge? 👀 For example: img.shields.io/github/hacktob…

Version 3.3.0 of our NPM badge-maker package was just released. Check out the changelog to find out what's new: github.com/badges/shields…

We received a wealth of great contributions during #hacktoberfest! Special thanks to JabbarMemon, Karthik, rdil_pickle, Hubert Jagodziński, @outsideris, Pierre-Yves Bigourdan, Paul Melnikow and a few others not on Twitter! Hopefully see you all again next year! 🚀

If you host your own instance of Shields, please be aware that we're dropping support for configuration specified inside .env files. Instead, you'll need to either use good old environment variables or a config/local.yml file, as documented here: github.com/badges/shields…

Quick heads up: our GitHub milestone and Dependabot badges no longer have embedded hyperlinks by default. Unless you use the badge in an <object> HTML tag, you should be unaffected. Otherwise simply add a 'link' query param as explained in our shields.io homepage!

Know how we proudly advertise our service as "no tracking" on our website? We're now one step closer to fully keeping that promise. Thanks to @SISheogorath, our homepage no longer makes third party requests to Google Fonts!

Thanks to Tarun Singh who contributed two new YouTube badges displaying channel subscriber and view counts! Also thanks to the YouTube team for recently granting us a quota increase for their API! 🙏

Our latest badge offering includes service monitoring using PingPong. Thanks for their contribution!

Are you liking GitHub's new Discussions feature? Well, you're going to love it even more, now that there's a badge for it! For example: img.shields.io/github/discuss… Thanks to @prafful_javare for his contribution! 🙏

We recently started a curated collection of awesome resources related to status badges, both Shields-related and non-Shields-related. Feel free to check the repository out, star it, or add your own projects to the list! github.com/badges/awesome…
