I've recently added a new badge (try boost.di | online) to proposed boost.di library. It uses Wandbox (awesome) facilities to check the library using online compiler (Wandbox supports newest gcc/clang). IMHO this approach is really useful for reviews and new users, since they don't have to install anything, just click the link and its done. They can experiment and then if they like it, clone the library and explore it more.
You can check the badge here: http://krzysztof-jusiak.github.io/di/cpp14/boost/libs/di/doc/html
And, for inpatients, direct link to online compiler with the library: http://melpon.org/wandbox/permlink/O3ABWKU3VBV3WG8J
Seriously cool. Can I quickly check with you how you did this so I can write it up? 1. Assemble your library into a giant single header include file. Add that to wandbox. 2. Add small example program. Get it compiling and executing. 3. Hit the "Share This Code" button to get a permalink. 4. Go to badges.io to create a custom badge. 5. Add the badge to the link to your documentation. My *only* criticism is that I think the badge too samey to the CI status badges and that users simply will not see it. I think we need a much bigger maybe custom designed badge, and it should be separate from the status badges.
