new-frontend	We launched a new frontend	name title url image_url chris48s Shields.io Core Team https://github.com/chris48s https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/6025893

Alongside the general visual refresh and improvements to look and feel, our new frontend has allowed us to address a number of long-standing feature requests and enhancements:

• Clearer and more discoverable documentation for our static, dynamic json/xml/yaml and endpoint badges
• Improved badge builder interface, with all optional query parameters included in the builder for each badge
• Each badge now has its own documentation page, which we can link to. e.g: https://shields.io/badges/discord
• Light/dark mode themes
• Improved search
• Documentation for individual path and query parameters

The new site also comes with big maintenance benefits for the core team. We rely heavily on docusaurus, docusaurus-openapi, and docusaurus-search-local. This moves us to a mostly declarative setup, massively reducing the amount of custom frontend code we maintain ourselves.
