TryBadgey: Manage Your Launch Directory Badges Effortlessly

TryBadgey is a web-based service that helps makers and product listing owners display and manage 'Featured on' badges from launch directories on their website. Instead of manually copying and pasting badge code from each directory, users add TryBadgey's code once and manage all badges from a centralized dashboard.

Key Features

• Automatic Updates: Add, remove, or reorder badges in the dashboard - your site updates within about 2 minutes without code changes
• Verified Links: Each badge is embedded as a real link exactly as directories provide, so verification checks and Google can find them
• Lighter Pages: Large badge images are resized to keep pages fast (from 2.4MB down to 2400KB)
• Health Checks: Weekly checks flag broken images and dead links before visitors notice
• Platform Support: Works with WordPress, PHP (Laravel, CodeIgniter, Joomla), Next.js, Nuxt, Astro, Node.js, Python (Django, Flask), and Ruby on Rails
• Custom Badges: Add badges from directories not in the supported list using 'Add your own badge' feature
• Directory Traffic Stats (Pro): See how many visitors each directory sends you
• Listing Tracker (Pro): Monitor if directories keep your listing live and linking to your site
• Light & Dark Themes: Automatically adapting text colors for both theme types
• Custom Text: Replace 'Featured on' with your own phrasing (Pro)
