(question) Block hub with shields.io?

[ghost]

Hi everyone.

I would like to know if you all already think about using shields in the block hub.

an idea

image-description: As we can see we have a shields in block hub, everyone knows corresponding badges.

question/feedback

• Would it be possible to include metadata in the block components, informing used frameworks, programming language, if it has documentation or not?
• Would it be possible to have shields in block hub?
• What do you all think of this idea?

Rather than have a dedicated section for shields on block listing pages, I'd be in favour of ensuring we support the full gamut of GitHub Flavored Markdown in READMEs.

This would effectively allow shields to be included while allowing READMEs in folk's GitHub repositories to be more faithfully reflected on the Þ Hub as a whole.

We might consider supporting multiple markdown specs (e.g. CommonMark as used by Bitbucket, or GitLab Flavored Markdown in the future - either at user's option or automatically (if able to auto-detect the source repo from GitHub/GitLab via a linked account).
