Custom shields

Hi, first of all, great project, really love it and I'm already using it in my repos.

It would be great to be able to use custom shields in the project image. Currently we can only turn on/off some specific shields related to the repo (stars, issues, forks), but it would be great to be able to add custom ones. For instance, these are the shields I have in my project's README.rst file:

It would be wonderful if there was a way of adding these to the project image itself.

Just thinking of it, they would not be clickable any longer since they would be in a single image, right?

@gilbertohasnofb Thanks for the suggesstion

In terms of the second question, yes images won't be clickable but I could look into if github readme support like html embded or iframe, then we could serve html as an option to allow the buttons to be clickable

FYI, I don't think GitHub README supports html or iframe.

No but it supports SVG, which can have links in it 🤷

@bokub could you provide an example svg with links in it? I haven't seen it work on GitHub~

I just tested and you're right, a click on the links just open the image in a new tab, the links can be clicked on that new tab but not in the original.

@bokub yeah that's too bad~

However, the original idea is great, being able to include custom badges exactly like you include the project logo
