When we wanted good metrics on our private Rust repositories, we found other Rust badge generators lacking. So, we made our own. Contributions welcome!

Our mission at Tangram Vision is to enable developers to leverage the power of computer vision and sensor technology like never before. We're doing it all in Rust, too, and are excited to give back to the community through projects like this. RSBadges is a start, but be sure to check in on our Open Source Software group (https://gitlab.com/tangram-vision-oss) for more in the coming months.

How does this compare to other badge services like Shields.io?

The badge designs themselves are modeled after the badges generated by Shields.io. However, when the Tangram team was putting together our CI pipeline, we realized that we couldn't use a Shields-like service because most of our repositories are private (no public pings, you know).

So, since we're a Rust-heavy organization, we decided to generate our own badges during CI. Seeing that current Rust-based offerings were lacking compared to something like Shields.io... we just made our own!
