ReleaseRun Badges vs Shields.io
Shields.io tells you what version you’re running. ReleaseRun tells you if it’s safe. They’re complementary — use both.
Shields.io
Static versionShows the current version number. Great for indicating which release you depend on or have deployed.
Version number only
No health context
ReleaseRun
Dynamic healthShows health grade, EOL status, and CVE count. Tells readers whether your dependency is actually safe to use.
Health grade + version
EOL countdown
