shieldcnApr 2026 · shieldcn.dev · ▲10hey hn! been working on a small side project called shieldcn and just added a badge builder + community showcase. the shieldcn project was so well recieved and I got some great feedback, so coming here in hopes I get more. https://www.shieldcn.dev/showcase the idea is just to make badges that feel a bit more like real UI instead of the usual shields style ones you can mess around with styles, icons, themes and share whatever you make still super early so mostly trying to figure out if this is actually useful or if i'm missing something obvious if anything feels off or…
