@username @olebogeng_mbedzi Foxy chose your launch out of today's batch 🦊 — ranking developers by their real GitHub output instead of résumé keywords (as playable cards, no less) is a sharp, overdue idea. More than an upvote: here's a launch video built from your own product, white-label and yours to post anywhere:

the part I'd want to understand before trusting a score is what it does to someone who does great work at a company with a private repo all day and only pushes weekend side projects publicly, versus someone who commits noisy formatting changes and doc typo fixes to public repos constantly. public GitHub activity correlates with output but it also correlates with how much of your job happens to be open source. does the scoring try to normalize for that at all, or is it explicitly "public output only, make your peace with it"?
@galdayan Thats a legitimate concern including maybe people who will maybe now buy stars
But I think the algorithm can be improved and I was on, Most non noisy high ranking public contributors also do great work at a company
And for example if private repos were to be in the equation, the calibration will just change
Happy to hear what you think
@olebogeng_mbedzi fair enough - "make your peace with public output only" is at least an honest constraint to state upfront rather than pretending the score is a full picture of someone's engineering ability. would rather see that caveat on the card itself than have a client assume it's comprehensive
@galdayan Thanks a lot for this feedback, I will definitely have this implemented
honestly the player card idea is kind of fun, made browsing way more engaging than another boring list. plain english search worked pretty well when i tried it too.
The player card scoring idea feels genuinely fresh, like turning GitHub activity into something you'd actually want to browse rather than another dry analytics dashboard.
