Markdown Badges is a curated collection of markdown badge snippets for developers to add to profiles and projects.
The project solves the problem of finding and copying ready-made badge markdown for developer branding by maintaining an organized, searchable repository of badges across dozens of categories including programming languages, frameworks, tools, platforms, and services. Each badge is built using simple-icons and shields.io, allowing developers to quickly locate and copy the markdown syntax needed to display a badge in their README or profile.
Developers should choose this tool if they want to quickly add visual indicators of their skills, technologies, and services to GitHub profiles or project documentation without manually creating badge markdown. The project suits anyone building a developer portfolio or README who wants consistent, professionally styled badges. The tool focuses specifically on badges with simple-icons support; for custom badges without icons, the README directs users to shields.io instead. The collection organizes badges into categories spanning artificial intelligence, databases, languages, frameworks, cloud platforms, DevOps tools, and many other domains, making it practical for projects of any technical focus.
The project maintains an active curation model where contributions are accepted for new badges, indicating ongoing community engagement with the collection. Development activity shows consistent responsiveness to user needs through the contribution process.
