Can we support something like progressed.io?

[paulmelnikow]

Hi! Could I ask you for three things?

1. Post a link to some more information about this feature.
2. Describe the use case.
3. Explain why this should be implemented.

@paulmelnikow Thank you for your attention.

Where would the data come from?

[asdf2014]

@paulmelnikow These data come from parameters, such as ?done=9&total=1131&title=completed&suffix=elements

@chris48s Thank you for the label. BTW, is there any plan? How long is it expected to see this feature? :smile:

[paulmelnikow]

A couple options I see:

1. It would be pretty easy to add a (basically static) progress badge that renders with a percentage (as text, not a bar).
2. I could also see doing a (text) progress badge that works on top of a json endpoint. It'd work like the dynamic badge, and you could pass in a JSONPath expression for the numerator and denominator.

Would that work for you?

You haven't really said how you're using these badges. Could you talk more about what kind of data they are showing and/or link to example projects?

Also, I'm struggling to find any current information on progressed.io. I can't find an active API, and the only relevant info I could find on GitHub was this repo that's been archived/inactive for going on 2 years now.

Is the ask to specifically support progressed.io, or more generally for some kind of progress indicator/status badge?

@paulmelnikow @calebcartwright Thank you for your comments. Yep, progressed.io has been shutdown. In fact, I need a progress bar instead of a textual shield.

I'd be interested in using this for a community translation project (namely https://github.com/ryankeleti/ega) to show how much of each volume has been translated. I would be happy with static percentages (at the moment I'm just setting the message to be e.g. 39% and changing the colour manually, from red through to green at 25% intervals).

At the moment I'm just doing this

Any updates on this feature request. I'm also highly interested in it.
