What exact data would you be looking to add?
Could do Snap Status:


Or Snap Price:

Though besides those two applications, I can't think of much else you could add.

Hi! Price is good. Some other ideas: license, the latest version released in a particular channel, and stats like installed base and device change.

We have a published/unpublished badge for vaadin directory and TBH I'm not sure it's helpful.

[solemcaelum]

Alrighty, I can start on a Pull Request to see about adding Price, and I'll leave out Published.
I think I can also work the Latest Version, Installed Base, and Device Change though I'm not so sure about the last two.

Would making a badge featuring the Architectures that snap is available on be helpful?

[antonmedv]

@solemcaelum version will be cool.

@solemcaelum - awesome!

Be sure to check out our tutorial for writing badge services if you haven't already done so.

Feel free to ping us on this thread and/or in Discord if we can be of any help!

Lets start off with price, version (and installed base, if you want/can) as a starting point - its easier for us to review a smaller unit of work. PRs that add a whole kitchen sink of badges all at once often spend a lot of time in review and take a long time to land which can be frustrating for the contributor.

If we're not sure if a badge is useful, lets leave it for now.. if someone is using the snap badges and really wants a architectures badge, they'll raise an issue for it :)
