good first issueservice-badge

Description

Adding support for http://isitmaintained.com/ would be nice. It doesn't look to have an API, but it has badges which can be scraped for text content (e.g. http://isitmaintained.com/badge/resolution/couchbase/forestdb.svg)

Research direction
Examine existing badge implementations in the shields.io codebase, such as those in 'server.js' or 'lib/'. The isitmaintained badge can be scraped from the SVG URL provided. Ensure the service is still active and consider handling possible API changes. Look for any recent comments or related issues for updates.
