Changelog

Under every published comment – in the blog as well as on the badge pages – you can now react with an emoji: 👍 helpful, ❤️ love it, 🔥 strong, 🎉 congrats, 💡 good tip or 😂 funny. Those six are deliberately all there is. One click sets your reaction, a second one takes it back, and just like commenting it needs no sign-up.

There is now a feedback button in the bottom-left corner – on every page. Bug, idea or anything else: type it in, hit send, done. No sign-up needed, and a contact detail only if you would like a reply. The message goes straight into our Discord, where it actually gets read.

New under FAQ: over 40 questions and answers – how to connect your Garmin profile and why it sometimes does not show up, how points, rarity and the badge types work, what the leaderboard, comparison, statistics, calendar subscription, watchlist and the API can do, and which data is stored here at all. The search box at the top takes you to the right question straight away.

All badges are now also sorted by category under Badge categories – running, cycling, steps and more, plus the always-available and the rarest ones. And Compare puts two collections side by side: what you both have and what the other one is still missing. On any profile, one click takes you straight to a comparison with your own.

The new badge calendar shows all upcoming badge dates and builds your personal calendar subscription: pick your Garmin profile to hide badges you already earned, and filter yearly recurring or Connect+ badges. One click adds the subscription to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook.

On the donation page you can now choose between a one-time and a monthly contribution. The Supporter heart still appears automatically – with a subscription you can cancel anytime in your PayPal account.

The user interface and all badge names are now also available in Korean, Thai, Indonesian and Malay – automatically via your browser language or selectable in the settings.

The entire user interface is now also available in Dutch, French and Spanish – automatically via your browser language or explicitly via the settings.

In the Settings you can now pick your language explicitly – your choice overrides the automatic browser-language detection.

Via Donate you can support Badgehero.io via PayPal – as a thank-you, a ❤️ Supporter badge automatically appears on your profile.

On the Country pages you can now see which badges are exclusive to each country, with a dedicated page per country.

This page: the highlights of what is new on Badgehero.io, grouped by month.

Badgehero.io got its own superhero logo — and the whole site a fresh look in teal.

Badges that are only available in certain countries now say so right on the detail page.

The leaderboard highlights your own row, search results show the leaderboard rank, and a profile can be remembered as "my profile".

Pinned badges appear in their own strip at the top.

Bookmark badges and see at a glance on your profile which ones you are still missing — no account needed.

Related badges — such as yearly editions of the same challenge — are linked as a group on the detail page.

Chat with fellow badge collectors — alongside Discord there is now a WhatsApp community as well.

The interface, badge names and all blog posts are now available in Chinese and Japanese too.

Instead of an abstract score there is a rarity tier plus the share of collectors as a percentage.
