shieldcn is an open-source badge service that renders README badges as actual shadcn/ui Button components using Satori, offering a shields.io-compatible alternative with a modern design. It supports dozens of providers from npm to Discord with configurable variants, sizes, and icons. The project stands out for its focus on visual consistency with shadcn/ui and its never-paywalled philosophy.

Target audience: backend devs, frontend devs, open-source maintainers
