THANKS.md

where people comment and say how the project helped them

This is a specification for creating a specific place in a project where people can tell the maintainers how the project helped them.

The idea is comes from this Twitter exchange:

Specification

• Create a file called THANKS.md
• Add a short message at the top of the THANKS.md file to say "Thanks" to the people that use your project
• Add some notice to the projects README to indicate that the project has a THANKS.md
• (Optional) Add the THANKS.md badge to the project README

Example

See THANKS.md in this repository for a template.

How to Add the Badge

Paste the line below into your markdown file.
