scverse badge

[grst]

We probably want some sort of badge which people can pin to their approved repositories. Any suggestions how this could look like?

I like this. It's not possible to make a badge two colored, right? So blue + yellow?

[grst]

not with shields.io afaik. But it could be any svg served from scverse.org.

While it would be nice it might not fit with other badges then.... I quite like the homogeneous green nextflow badges. Let's bring it up at the next governance meeting.

Also could put our logo in it:

code

import base64

def make_url(img: bytes) -> str:
    return f"https://img.shields.io/badge/scverse-ecosystem-black.svg?logo=data:image/svg%2bxml;base64,{img.decode()}"

img = base64.b64encode(Path("./scverse_bw_logo.svg").read_bytes())
print(make_url(img))

Hell yeah @ivirshup

Yes it is, among a bunch of other parameters. see docs: https://shields.io/badges

Can we still add the logo in the colored one?

[mikelkou]

I couldn't resist and I added it already to my repository. 🤭 The colored one will look better I think.

Maybe

and

then?

Or actually / might look a bit cleaner.
