Description

We've indexed 5M+ GitHub users and built a ranking system that goes beyond follower counts. The idea started from frustration: GitHub is terrible for discovery. You can't answer "who are the best Python developers in Berlin?" or "who identified transformer-based models before they blew up?" without scraping everything yourself. So we did.What we built: CodeRank score - a composite reputation signal across contributions, repository impact, and community influence Tastemaker score - did you star repos at 50 stars that now have 50,000? We track that Comparison Builder - allows users to build comparison graphics to compare devs, repos, orgs, etc. Sharable Profile Graphics - share your scores and flex on your coworkers or the community at largeSome things we found interesting: Most-followed ≠ most influential. The correlation between follower count and tastemaker score is surprisingly weak. There's a whole tier of developers who consistently find projects weeks and months before they trend, with almost no public following.Location data on GitHub is a disaster. We spent an embarrassing amount of time on normalization and it's still not anywhere near perfect.Try it: https://coderank.me/If your profile doesn't have a score, signing in will trigger scoring for your account.Curious what the HN crowd thinks about the ranking methodology, happy to get into the weeds on any of it.
