Add a change badge to a link

If you link to a news article in your writing, you can show readers whether it has changed since. Paste the article's address to get a small live badge that links to our record.

What the badge says

  • no changes since [date]: we have checked the article since that date and have saved only one version.
  • [n] changes on record: we have reviewed and published changes to the article. The badge links to the record.
  • [n] versions saved: the article's text has changed, and the changes are waiting for review.
  • not tracked: we don't follow the outlet, or the page isn't a standard text article.

The badge updates by itself. We check each story often in its first days and stop after 30 days, so "no changes since" means no changes while we were checking. It doesn't cover edits made before we first saw the story. How we collect.

Where it works

Anywhere that shows images from a link: blogs, newsletters, Substack posts, documentation and most website builders. The HTML version works in any web page; the Markdown version works on GitHub, Notion and many note apps. We don't track who views the badge.
