Show HN: I built a Shadcn based alternative to shields.io

I just built shieldcn. The concept it simple: to show off your README, profile, or anything with better-looking badges. shieldcn is a shields.io alternative that renders badges with shadcn/ui-style design, themes, variants, custom icons, and live data from GitHub, npm, Discord, and more.
