GitHub Awards

Great idea, and quite funny to use :)

Awesome !!

This is really neat and I love playing with stuff like this. But, fundamentally, it shows that stars aren't a good measure of anything besides stars, at least outside of the top…

I don't think it takes into account the country, just the city. I live in Halifax, UK and it compared me with people in Halifax, Canada. Edit: Also, I have more than 1 star on my…

It didn't detect my location correctly. I'm in the Boston area, not the UK: http://github-awards.com/users/search?login=kylecronin https://github.com/kylecronin

The city search thing doesn't work right as far as I can tell. I live in Louisville, CO, but it was showing users from Louisville, KY.

according to this site, I'm the #1 developer in Mexico for a ton of languages. in reality, I'm not in Mexico. similar comments abound: "I live in Halifax, UK and it compared me…

There's a bug with the city/country detection: People with only a country as their location, e.g. “Norway” are detected as being in “Norway, United States”. :-)

Why does it think Kentucky is in Australia? My profile: https://github.com/moneypenny

Surprised to see that I'm only detected as having 34 "Ruby" stars when one of my Ruby projects has ~6,700 stars, all told across all my projects I ought to have closer to 10k ★.…

I am pretty surprised by my ranking in San Francisco :) 86 in Lua devs? not so many Lua devs around ... Also, it seems that some of my repo are not taking into account, like…

This appears to be improperly including the stars from repositories that you forked.

I run most of my projects under an organization so this doesn't really work. Also stars aren't really a great measure of anything after a point. Perfect example are the json-jwt…

A further step towards the gamification of Open Source development. On the other hand, maybe that's Github's future business model: Rank Open Source slaves and sell that…

I'd like to call out for the author of this that you are in breach of the Github name and branding usage guidelines: > ## Naming projects and products > Please avoid naming your…

The name still breaks the naming section of GitHub's terms. It doesn't matter if you put a disclaimer on it. Naming projects and products Please avoid naming your projects…

I wish GitHub would crack down harder on sites that do this. This site, and a lot of the other sites that use GitHub APIs and data are clearly trying to blur the boundary between…

It told me it coudln't identify my city from my github account. Indeed, i did not have "location" field filled out in my github profile. I went and filled it out. But it still…

I don't think it's updated in realtime, is it?

The cool thing is, of course, to find like-minded people locally! It would be nice to be able to see results by specifying a geographic radius.

Is the score formula correct? sum(stars) + (1.0 - 1.0/count(repositories)) So if I have 3000 stars and 10 repositories, you give me a score of 3000.9? Shouldn't it be multiplied?

Thank you! I was almost doing this myself, but you did it first, now I'm free! How much did it take? Too much data? How much? How did you get it?
