A few weeks/months ago someone here mentioned that it'd be good if DUB projects linked to code.dlang.org to help anyone who runs into such a project quickly discover other D projects.

MAny GitHub projects have "badges"/"shields" on top of their READMEs - little image strips showing things like continuous integration status, code coverage, etc.

There's also a service generating these: shields.io

I generated a simple "listed at| code.dlang.org" shield, and added it to my project READMEs as a link pointing to code.dlang.org for example, see D:YAML README:

  https://github.com/kiith-sa/D-YAML

You can do the same by either linking to or downloading the shield:

  https://img.shields.io/badge/listed%20at-code.dlang.org-red.png

(used red... because mars)

and putting the image (whether as a link to shields.io or your own copy) into your README.



It's not likely to be a huge improvement, but I expect it *can* help people notice more D projects and it's trivial to do.

red is connoted negative/agressive, I think blue would be better.
Or maybe yellow-mustard for those who have doubtful tastes...

If you want blue, just replace "red" with "blue". I used red because it's the color of the D logo, site and the color of Mars (as D was originally called Mars and lot of D things are named after Mars, e.g. Phobos/Deimos etc.)

Sorry it was a trivial and useless answer. forgot that this board is excusively serious.
