StillMaintained-style badges

[ELLIOTTCABLE]

So, it's pretty simple to create a static ‘this is unmaintained’ badge:

: https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%3F-no!-red.svg?style=flat

However, what I'd really like to see, as a hopefully-easy-to-implement feature, is ‘yes this is maintained’ badges that expire:

https://img.shields.io/maintenance/STATUS/2015.svg

If STATUS is yes, then during 2015, this shows ; but let's say three months into 2016, any badges with a number lower than 2015.svg show … and then perhaps three months into 2017, 2015.svg will resolve to .

Basically, I want a way to actively continue to signal that a project is maintained, that is trustworthy to the end-user: at the moment, I'm including the year in the manual badge I'm adding to my projects; but this is bulky and ugly, IMHO. It'd be much better for ‘yes!’ to simply mean yes, by definition, and to become ‘no!’ automatically.

Alternatively, the ‘value’ of the badge could simply be the year; and the only thing that changes could be the colour; but, personally, I like the ability to have custom words: https://img.shields.io/maintenance/feature-frozen/2015.svg, for instance.

That is smart.

I implemented it and it is now live. Your link is now functional, although this one may be of better use:

Damn, that was fast!

@espadrine, you rock. Keep up the slick work.
