Hi, I built supershields.io as an alternative to shields.io.

If you're interested in reading about the somewhat unorthodox product development process, I've written a blog article about it here: https://supershields.io/blog/1

Hey just a heads-up that the site is all messed up for me on iOS Safari: everything is huge, big horizontal scrollbar. Very hard to use.

Yeah, the service itself is kinda hard to use on a tiny screen so I haven't put a lot of effort into providing a good mobile user experience. I guess it would be useful to have a mobile-friendly version for people just checking out the service though.

Yeah I do almost all of my HN reading on my phone - so if stuff isn't readable on mobile it's hard for me to evaluate it.

Can I use supershields for an internal company metric to be displayed on a GitHub enterprise instance? I've tried using shields.io in the past for this and the API endpoint typically must be publicly accessible to make a metric button out of it.

There is a supershields Github app that you can install and then give access to one or more private Github repos. Then when you create Github badges on supershields.io you'll get the option to connect them with your private repo.

The app is here: https://github.com/marketplace/supershields

Not sure how Github enterprise works though. Can you use regular Github apps with your enterprise installation?
