Some reactions:

  • I think it looks good!
  • I personally don't love the app-store aesthetic. For example, I wouldn't want to put it on stevekrouse.com or dateme.directory.
  • I don't like how it loads kinda slowly, and after the rest of the page loads. Maybe caching could help with that. Or it could be inlined somehow. Or fade in somehow.
  • The readme feels verbose. I wonder if the two options could also be made more concise, or if we could drop one of them. I don't know if the name wrapper is good. I wonder if the "vals used to create this" could be shorter, maybe just link to the image service, and that links to everything else.

@stevekrouse Took a stab at inlining the html + svg to get around the perf hit of the image here: https://www.val.town/v/jxnblk/valTownBadge02

Also, slight variation in the style to try to get away from the "app store" vibes; have some other sketches I can share as well.

WRT the readme, we can probably keep this whole thing in a single val and pare down the usage to be more succinct
