Easier to use badge code

Feature request

Right now the install size requires an ID like 36256258 that changes with every version:

<a href="https://pkg-size.dev/@sveltejs/kit"><img src="https://pkg-size.dev/badge/install/36256258" title="Install size for @sveltejs/kit"></a>

It would be nice if the package name could instead be used:

<a href="https://pkg-size.dev/@sveltejs/kit"><img src="https://pkg-size.dev/badge/install/@sveltejs/kit" title="Install size for @sveltejs/kit"></a>

This would be an alias for the latest run ID for that package. It wouldn't rerun the calculation as that's expensive.

Motivations

I don't want to have to update my README with each new release. I don't mind visiting the site again to kick off a new run too much, but I'd rather avoid the churn to my file inside git

@benmccann Take a look at https://github.com/styfle/packagephobia since the caching works how you described.

For example:

[![install size](https://packagephobia.com/badge?p=@sveltejs/kit)](https://packagephobia.com/result?p=@sveltejs/kit)

Thanks @styfle! It's really the bundle size badge that I'm interested in and it seems that packagephobia doesn't have that one, so it probably wouldn't be a fit, but thanks for sharing!

Currently, pkg-size.dev is essentially a SPA, with the "backend" handled via the WebContainers API.

That said, my understanding is that there's no truly secure way to integrate a KV store directly from the frontend without exposing it to potential data tampering. Perhaps I'm overthinking the security risks here.

But there are definitely free KV tiers that would fit pkg-size's needs. Will explore them further.
