Replacements for StillMaintained badges

maintained-badges.markdown

Since http://stillmaintained.com is, ironically, no longer maintained, here's some custom GitHub badges for your dead, stale, or frozen projects:

: https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%3F-no!-red.svg?style=flat
: https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%3F-seeking:_help_me!-yellow.svg?style=flat
: https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%3F-rapidly_changing!-orange.svg?style=flat
: https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%3F-yes!-brightgreen.svg?style=flat
: https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%3F-feature--frozen-lightgrey.svg?style=flat

You can modify these using Shields.io's parameters. I suggest you add ?link= parameters if it's anything other than ‘yes!’, with perhaps a blog-post or anchor-link to a README %23section (in the case of no-longer-maintained or frozen), or an e-mail address (if seeking maintainers.)

I've also submitted a more advanced version of this functionality as a proposal to Shields.io: badges/shields#607.

You may want to add some alt text to your badges - so instead of ![](https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%3F-no!-red.svg?style=flat) you'd have ![maintained? no!](https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%3F-no!-red.svg?style=flat).
Checking now whether shields.io suggests this by default...

Wow, why does your comment have an edit button for me. I don't like that.

@kmoe yah, I'm personally using HTML, not Markdown, outside of this file. (I didn't realize I should put the actual status in the alt-text, though, although that's now obvious. I've been using alt='Maintenance status'. D:)
