Quick examples
Why static?
X's API requires a $200/mo Basic plan for any read access — even public profile data like follower counts. These badges skip the API entirely and render as static follow/mention CTAs with the X icon. No token, no cost, no rate limits.
Data source
No external API calls. Badges are rendered statically using the username from the URL path.
