GitHub README badge for impact #20

Open ryscheng opened 1 year ago

Describe the feature you'd like to request

We should produce a README badge for GitHub repos that conveys a project's impact. Some proposals of what it might show:

how many packages depend on me both directly and indirectly.

This number should convey social meaning, ideally more than GitHub stars does today.

Describe the solution you'd like

A dynamic image server that renders the badge based on reverse dependency data.

Describe alternatives you've considered

TBD
