Add 'Used by' section in README.md

[shenxianpeng]

Since this PR #60 merged, this repo lost all the previous used by links (result is here), how about adding 'Used by' section in README.md? we could:

• List the most famous projects like google/flatbuffers, others display links or number
• Or display like contributor avatars as in many projects

In those search results, I'm only seeing the Google/flatbuffers repo worth mentioning. Most of the other projects looked like school projects.

[shenxianpeng]

Yes, only google and another one CHIP-SPV/chip-spv. Adding the following badges might encourage more people to use.

Once this repo has more users, we could remove the following badges.

Used By

Or

Projects	Information

Using badges might confuse people with a status of other projects, but I like the stars count. I also find it a little hard to read the white text on green background.

Maybe something a bit more formal?

Used By

• google/flatbuffers
• CHIP-SPV/chip-spv
• and more

It would be nice if we could have a badge (like the stars count) that shows the total search results.

I like your revision 👍

Yes, I tried, but I did not find something like this.

This issue got a little further recently, there is almost no similar tool for generating Used By quantities on the market, so I recently made one (in beta). It can automatically generate a 'Used By' badge, the number is fetched from the https://github.com/cpp-linter/cpp-linter-action/network/dependents page, and creates a pull request when the badge number changes with a GitHub Action. Here is the last Used By badge of cpp-linter-action for example:

Just wanted to see if there were any thoughts or comments here.

What's happening here? I see the link shows:

but the badge says 523. Did I misunderstand something?

Otherwise, that is a pretty cool idea! And I like the auto-PR feature.

[2bndy5]

Oh, 465 users of package cpp-linter/cpp-linter-action + 58 users of package shenxianpeng/cpp-linter-action. So, 465 + 58 = 523.

I'm ok with using that badge. You want to open a PR?

[shenxianpeng]

465 + 58 = 523.

Correct :) sorry for not mentioning it in my last comment.
