There was questions if you could retrack/remove a badge? (maybe soon)

There might be a API to allow access without setting up a docker instance? (planned)

Next Steps:

• Set up own instance to make it accessible to non-technical audiences
• Documentation
• Technical Documentation
• API for gamifying
• Moodle plugin
