Summary

This PR adds a GitHub Stars badge to the README.md badge collection. The implementation is clean and follows best practices for badge placement and styling.

Review Findings

Approved - This change looks good to merge!

What's Good

  1. Correct Syntax: The badge uses proper shields.io syntax with appropriate parameters
  2. Consistent Styling: Matches the existing badge style (style=flat) and includes appropriate logo
  3. Logical Placement: Positioned between the License badge and Live Demo badge, maintaining good visual hierarchy
  4. Functional Link: Links correctly to the stargazers page
  5. Dynamic Content: Uses GitHub API endpoint to show real-time star count
  6. Security: No security concerns - uses standard shields.io badge service over HTTPS

Technical Details

Change: Line 10 added in README.md:10

<a href="https://github.com/Manabu-GT/DebugOverlay-Android/stargazers"><img src="https://img.shields.io/github/stars/Manabu-GT/DebugOverlay-Android?style=flat&logo=github&label=Star&color=gold"></a>

Badge Parameters:

  • style=flat - Matches all other badges
  • logo=github - Adds GitHub icon for visual recognition
  • label=Star - Clear, concise label
  • color=gold - Distinctive color that differentiates it from the green badges
  • Proper alt text for accessibility

Minor Observations (Not blocking)

  1. Color Choice: The color=gold makes this badge stand out nicely from the surrounding green badges, which effectively draws attention to the star action
  2. Badge Ordering: The placement after License and before Live Demo creates a natural flow: project metadata → community engagement → demo

Recommendation

✅ Approve and merge - This is a straightforward documentation improvement with no code quality, security, or performance concerns. The badge will help showcase community engagement and encourage more users to star the repository.
