Hey Folks,

Not long after CircleCI Orbs were introduced, I created an [experimental project to create Orb GitHub badges](https://discuss.circleci.com/t/experimental-orb-badges/28960) that display the orb version. Two years later my colleagues have turned my experiment into [an official CircleCI feature](https://discuss.circleci.com/t/new-orb-version-badge-endpoint/39515).

As such, I will be shutting down my experiment at the end of this month, July 31st. If you’re still using my badges, please make sure to switch over to the official one by this date.

Thanks!
