Very nice!<p>A while ago, I wanted to add a GitHub ribbon on my project page but didn&#x27;t want to load an 11 KB image that doesn&#x27;t even scale cleanly. I ended up going with the pure CSS route inspired by this post: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;unindented.org&#x2F;articles&#x2F;github-ribbon-using-css-transforms&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;unindented.org&#x2F;articles&#x2F;github-ribbon-using-css-tran...</a><p>With a pure CSS ribbon, you can also customize it to match your page&#x27;s theme perfectly instead of being limited to a few different color variations. Here&#x27;s what the end result looked like for my project page: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;toc.im&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;toc.im&#x2F;</a>
