digitalmars.D.learn - Idea/request: If you have a DUB project, add a code.dlang.org badge to
A few weeks/months ago someone here mentioned that it'd be good if DUB projects linked to code.dlang.org to help anyone who runs into such a project quickly discover other D projects. MAny GitHub projects have "badges"/"shields" on top of their READMEs - little image strips showing things like continuous integration status, code coverage, etc. There's also a service generating these: shields.io I generated a simple "listed at| code.dlang.org" shield, and added it to my project READMEs as a link pointing to code.dlang.org for example, see D:YAML README: https://github.com/kiith-sa/D-YAML You can do the same by either linking to or downloading the shield: https://img.shields.io/badge/listed%20at-code.dlang.org-red.png (used red... because mars) and putting the image (whether as a link to shields.io or your own copy) into your README. It's not likely to be a huge improvement, but I expect it *can* help people notice more D projects and it's trivial to do.

Or maybe yellow-mustard for those who have doubtful tastes...
