Hey there! I built an API that serves specific github related user badges for profile readmes but the newest ones I added can also be useful in repositories, you might wanna have a look and add them in to your service maybe!

Hi. Looks like a very interesting project. But the idea is not gonna suit to the needs of this action I guess. Since this action is just trying to take away the pain of setting up generally used common badges yourself instead of adding totally new type badges. But I do like the project and especially the last updated badge so I might add that in the next version update of the action 🙏. Thanks for recommending :)

After just struggling with manually adding some badges myself, this is a great idea!

Thank you. Glad you liked the idea :). I am still adding more badges and especially working on a feature to be able to add badges that require some sort of other configuration rather than Github like for Funding and CI related badges. Hopefully, most of the badges and features will be implemented before this hackathon.

That's an idea!

You might have a typo.

badge-style: 'flat-sqaure'

Thank you very much 🦄⚡. This action still needs some optimization. I did publish a working version with limited badges but tonight will fix any type of errors and will try to add more configurable badges specially for CI for platforms like TravisCI.
