Has anyone ever implemented a plugin where the badges total (per gold/silver/bronze) category were visible on the user avatar (a la Stack Overflow)?

I know there was a lot of discussion on this topic several years ago and I respect the decision made then to not put them everywhere. But I feel that highlighting the badges could still be valuable, especially in groups with a lot if new-member influx, in which someone’s “standing” can be important e.g. in the type of help you provide (document reference for newbies, deep dive in the code for veterans).

Do I understand correctly that this is the output quantity?  
`url: "/u/"+ username +".json"`

No, that is assist data for the client for correctly ordering badges and is constant across a site.

So no, no one has looked into this?

Would this be a #pr-welcome? Or preferably a plugin we source via #Marketplace or something else?
