I built Shields Creative as a more visually appealing alternative to Shields.io for GitHub projects.

Technical highlights: - Pure SVG generation with CSS animations (no JS execution) - Modular architecture in ~450 lines - In-memory LRU cache with Vercel CDN - Security-first: XSS protection, input validation

Example: https://shields-2-0.vercel.app/badge/Premium-Member-8b5cf6?style=glass&animate=pulse-scale

The service supports 5 visual styles (glass, neon, depth, gradient, minimal) and 5 animations. All rendering is done server-side for GitHub compatibility.

Live demo at: https://shields-2-0.vercel.app

Open to feedback on the architecture and feature suggestions!
