Badge about awesome HOT 18 CLOSED

Why not host it at github?

from awesome.

@n1trux I guess we could. Just that GitHub blocks rendering SVGs hosted in GitHub repos, so we would have to use https://rawgit.com like we do in the readme, and they have some kind of rate limiting, though unsure how high it is.

http://imgur.com ?

@jeshuamaxey Can you update the image without changing the URL there?

from awesome.

Ahh didn't see that requirement. Imgur won't work

from awesome.

Couldn't we just use our own servers?

Base64?

@sindresorhus just found out you can actually let Github host the badge. https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge does it for example:

[!(/Get_it_on_F-Droid.svg.png?raw=true "Download from F-Droid")]

EDIT: lol, I'm dumb. It's a png. Couldn't we just do that?

from awesome.

Host it in the gh-pages branch?

from awesome.

👍 gh-page

Badge suggestion:

Close-up:

I went with something non-pink, the logo text color, as pink would probably have been too bright and distracting for people.

Thoughts?

from awesome.

Me likey!

from awesome.

Looks excellent! I like it a lot, especially the colors!

Did you draw the letters or used some font? Those are some sexy letters right there!

from awesome.

@Aleksandar-Todorovic Same font as in the logo, Orbitron. It's just paths in the badge though.
