markdown-badges

Markdown Badges is a large, hand-maintained collection of ready-to-paste badges — those small coloured pill-shaped labels with an icon and a name, like the kind you see at the top of project READMEs to show "built with Python" or "deployed on Vercel". Instead of generating them yourself, you copy a one-line Markdown snippet from this catalogue and paste it into your own README, profile, or portfolio.

To use it you either open the repository on GitHub and press Ctrl+F (or Cmd+F on macOS) to search the page for the technology you want, or visit the project's live website. Each entry shows the rendered badge next to the exact Markdown code you need to copy. The badges are powered behind the scenes by shields.io image URLs, and the README explains how to switch to a different visual style — plastic, flat, flat-square, social, or the bold "for-the-badge" style — by changing the style parameter in the URL.

The catalogue is organised into many categories so you can find what you need quickly: artificial intelligence and bots, blogs, blockchain, browsers, CAD, continuous integration and continuous delivery, cloud storage, cryptocurrency, databases, design, developer forums, documentation platforms, education, funding, frameworks and libraries, frontend and backend technologies, CSS frameworks, mobile, machine learning, build tools, gaming, hardware, hosting and SaaS, IDEs and editors, programming languages, music, office tools, operating systems, ORMs, DevOps, home automation, networking, security, quantum programming, search engines, servers, smartphone brands, social platforms, stores, streaming services, terminals, testing, version control, wearables, and work or jobs.

Someone uses this when they want to dress up a GitHub profile readme, project page, or developer portfolio with a clear, consistent set of tech-stack badges, without learning the shields.io URL syntax themselves. The full README is longer than what was provided.
