Getting throttled a bit right now by the github API — should be better soon.
- click170 15y agoSeems like it's working after all just takes >5 minutes ATM. How is this score calculated?
- konsl 15y agoThe score's based on your use of GitHub, who follows you and your projects, as well as (this is where BackType comes in) how much they are shared on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Hacker News, etc.
- jackolas 15y agoThis makes me curious is there any reason why the users couldn't provide the data themselves or poll the API via javascript?
- konsl 15y agoSince we're using BackType as well to calculate the score, it was easier to do both requests server-side. We pre-ran a long list of popular users and all of their followers, but guess we didn't reach enough people :( If you leave the tab open, it will finish.
- ammmir 15y agodidn't load for me; you should throw up an example screenshot of what the score looks like. have you thought about making an embeddable score widget (similar to what ohloh has) that you could put on a blog?
- konsl 15y agoHere's an example (or you can click usernames on the frontpage): http://cl.ly/232U2o2t0C2y3V0J0r10 http://cl.ly/232U2o2t0C2y3V0J0r10
