dev.to members can now receive badges for being awesome. We have rolled out a couple so far: one for having had a post appear in the weekly must-re...

P.S. Thanks to @liana for designing the first two badges!
But we'd love some variety in these designs. If you'r an artist and you'd like to contribute a badge design, email liana@dev.to for details. 🙂
I think cheevos are a bad thing. They add a game-able element and create a divide in the community on arbitrary factors.
From the current two badges I think the "One Year Club" is a bad one. Older members are not anymore special than newer members. Just because you discovered this site earlier doesn't make you any more special.
The "Top 7" is better, as it does celebrate a well received contribution. Although as the community grows it will become more difficult to achieve as competition grows.
Love the idea! Can’t wait to see what badges you’ll introduce next :)
Sweet addition, I love the design too.
Yay, glad to hear!
Nice addition for the user profiles. I love the look of the badges, good work! :)
Yay! We thought so. Good luck on getting your first. Looks like it will be July 6th at the latest 😄
Are you planning to add a page that lists all available bAdges, so people can aim to get a particular one? Or do you think that would lead to people gaming the system?
We will be adding a page as badges are awarded, or something like that. I'm not to worried about system gaming at this stage based on how we expect to use these.
I see you have a hacktoberfest badge on your profile. I have completed the 2018 and 2019 editions and do not have one, how can I get the badge / submit completion proof?
Cool addition!
