Optional support

Carry the signal back to your site.

Add a one-line text link or 140×24 logo badge. The adaptive version follows the parent page's color scheme, with explicit light and dark SVGs for sites that need fixed control. Support is optional and never changes review, rank, visibility, outbound-link treatment, or editorial consideration.

Direct, descriptive, and nofollow by default. Verification also accepts ugc or sponsored when appropriate.

The auto SVG responds to inherited color-scheme. Its .hypestar-badge class and data-hypestar-theme="auto" attribute let a class-based theme toggle set color-scheme: light or dark on the badge or any ancestor.

Optional CSS for class-based themes

[data-theme="light"] .hypestar-badge[data-hypestar-theme="auto"] { color-scheme: light; }
[data-theme="dark"] .hypestar-badge[data-hypestar-theme="auto"] { color-scheme: dark; }

After publication

A badge that points to the reviewed profile.

Every live project profile gets a personalized Listed on Hype Star snippet. It links directly to that profile and states one fact: a reviewed listing is public. Auto theme uses color-scheme; the stable .hypestar-badge and data-hypestar-theme hooks work with a parent site's theme CSS. It is not an endorsement, certification, ranking promise, or award.
