That would need a very complex theme component though. Though I think it is possible. So if you want it to have fun making it.

Yeah I tried with the October badge but transparencies were tricky. Happy to look again though.

That’s a nice idea @CodingCactus ! I mean I could be very biased and go for something like this: https://stonehavenfireballs.co.uk/

I’m late! Well, I think we should wait until the 19th to get some ideas. A Replit Townhall event is being hosted, and I’m sure new things will be added, and we could make a badge of a new feature.

IDEA: Make the ball dropping animation, but script it so that the more someone contributed, the more confetti falls at the end.

I feel I am being trolled, but I can stretch time, it’s cool 
It actually does sound pretty awesome. 2023 moving away from static badges to GQL-fed achievement repls?

I have suggested animated badges in the past but it will be super hard to to make a theme component for this stuff and with our skill level…

Yeah, my idea with my very little knowledge of JS would be to create different animations/mp4s (maybe 3 or so) and in each one more confetti falls at the end. Then, using a script that gets someone’s contributions for this month, will play a different one depending on how much someone contributed.
That’s my idea.

To be honest I wouldn’t know where to start with hooking this into the Discourse badging system but happy to put it on my investigate later
list!

The easiest would be making a theme component and replace the image with a gif
Maybe something related to India since Replit India just launched!
