Logue reached #8 Repository of the Day for Swift on Trendshift (28 July 2026). This adds
the badge Trendshift publishes for it.

Placement

Its own centred line above the existing shields row, not inside it. The Trendshift badge
is 250x55; the shields are flat-square and about 20px tall, so putting it in that run leaves
them floating against its middle.

One thing worth knowing

The image is served live by Trendshift (/daily?language=Swift), not frozen at the day
it was achieved, so what it displays can change. I fetched it before committing to check what
it actually renders today:

  • HTTP 200, image/svg+xml
  • Text nodes: TRENDSHIFT, · Swift, #8 Repository Of The Day

So it matches the achievement right now. If the ranking moves, the README follows it. That
seemed preferable to hard-coding a static image, but say if you would rather pin it.

The for Swift qualifier is part of the badge itself, which matters: "#8 Repository of the
Day" without it reads as #8 overall.

Docs only, no code touched.

Logue reached #8 Repository of the Day for Swift on 28 July 2026. The badge sits on its own
line above the shields row rather than inside it: at 250x55 it is more than twice their
height, and dropping it into that centred run leaves the flat-square badges floating against
its middle.

The image is served live by Trendshift rather than frozen at the achievement, so what it
shows can move. Verified it currently renders "#8 Repository Of The Day" with the Swift
qualifier before committing.

The badge image is served live, so on its own it reads as today's standing. "First reached
July 28, 2026" underneath makes it a dated achievement instead, which is the honest version
and stays true if the ranking moves.

Wording follows Trendshift's own ("First achieved on 28th, Jul 2026"), and <sub> keeps it
visually subordinate to the badge.
