What HN said
What people liked
Fast, lightweight SVG output with good visual design
From 3 comments

Useful alternative to shields.io
From 2 comments
Very neat! I was looking for something exactly like this for a library I'm building - will try it out

I have no clue what is going on here or how to access anything.
assimpleaspossi on HN@splittydev Your entire comment there could/should be copy-pasted as an intro for your project. My curiosity was piqued when i saw this listed here on HN, but it did not fully…

Requests
Binary downloads for the CLI
From 2 comments
This is great, thank you! Any chance you'd consider making binaries available for download? I wanted to try out the CLI but I haven't used rust before, and I got as far as…
peter_l_downs on HNI managed to fork the repository, set up rust and vscode, and run the CLI. Very cool stuff! I am not a Rust developer, though, so this is a pretty big barrier to entry for me to…

Fetch-based endpoint taking a URL parameter
From 1 comment
Hi ! Nice ! It lacks available style, RGB colorization, PNG64 logos includable ; and if possible ; i'd love one where I can shove in an url as parameter, to let the thing fetch…

Questions
How does the service know build status
From 1 comment
How does the badge site know the build status? Params set in readme urls don’t seem like they’d work for that, if they can’t change.

How is this better than https://shields.io/ ?
goodpoint on HNWasn't expecting the "why" section to be at the bottom, since that's where I'm used to seeing license and contribution info. Might be worth linking to that at the top of your…

badgen.net
From 1 comment
You're right, I should've moved that up a bit. Shields.io definitely has its merits, they've got a huge collection of supported badges. Badgen.net was created because shields.io…
