When working with PyPI etc., I like to use version badges, especially for indexing tools, but I didn't see any suitable option for that with Nimble, [so I created mine](https://github.com/amkrajewski/nimble-badge). It has been stable for about a week now, updating every 12 hours.
Coincidentally, @daylinmorgan just posted a solution [here](https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/10522) using _shields.io_ , but I see them as complementary. [Their solution](https://img.shields.io/github/v/tag/daylinmorgan/forge?filter=v*&logo=Nim&label=nimble&labelColor=black&color=%23f3d400) certainly wins in cross-service consistency and reliability, while mine wins the ✨ beauty contest ✨, can easily be modified to any payload, and deployed statically without the internet. You can find my repo here <https://github.com/amkrajewski/nimble-badge> In short, I forked the [yglukhov's repo](https://github.com/yglukhov/nimble-tag) with a graphical design by Amy Shaw. Then I: * Added version field to the badge's SVG and automated adjustment based on the _nim-lang/packages_ submodule with a small Nim script. * Automated embedding of a hyperlink to the repository into the SVG (note that some text renderers disable it) * Created some half-decent decent README, including how 30s instruction on how to deploy it yourself. It is dead simple to use. SVG for every badge is statically hosted, and you just use your package name. E.g. for arraymancer, <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/amkrajewski/nimble-badge/master/badges/arraymancer.svg"; height="24"> Run or add your own payload by replacing `v1.11.11` in the `nimble.svg` with something you want to share with the world I hope you guys find it useful 🙂 And cheers to Nim devs who created such a beautiful language 🍻
