Badge request: CircleCI test summary

[paulmelnikow]

It would be great to show something like 1457 passing, 1 failing for our daily tests badge.

See #2526 (comment)

Tomorrow I'm going to pair with @jankeromnes to do some triage on #2783, and we're going to try to tackle this as a new badge, and probably refactor one old one, too. All using Gitpod!

Does Gitpod have any live/code share features? I think I remember seeing elsewhere an idea for doing a distributed hackathon leveraging Gitpod too. Might be cool if folks could share their session with each other and/or maintainers to help answer any questions, etc.

Yea, @jankeromnes said there is a way to share your screen. We could also screen-record these. Feel like we're trying, at this point, to gather feedback about the experience, though once we're feeling like it's in a good place we should definitely live-stream and post a recording of one of these!

Yes, I think you can share your workspace for live collaboration/coding, but I’ve never tried it yet. Tomorrow will be a first. 🙂

And it’s indeed a life-saving feature when you just can’t get something to work, and sending comments back and forth with a maintainer doesn’t cut it. Giving them access to your environment is really powerful.

And I agree that recording / live-streaming hacking sessions like that is a great way to show how everything works in a project (setup, contribution process, navigating the code, using specific tools...) and it might even spark some interest / new contribution ideas from viewers. :) I’d like to do more of that soon.
