This is such a brilliant idea!! Is there a max point to earn per period? LIke, 100 per day or something?

@andrew_cho Thanks! There is no limit in points, but there is in contributions, with a limit per type of contributions and per day, to limit cheating as much as possible.

That's nice! The idea of rewarding activity - especially in open source projects - is great. But I have two feedback points with potentially issues: - The idea suffers from the "platform" approach. You need a lot of people on your app to have a relevant leaderboard with significant rewards (Project visibility is great if the audience is big). That's not inherently bad, but it will be hard to reach that critical mass. - A leaderboard like this promotes "bad commits". Some people create mini PRs that don't have any benefit besides them now being a contributor and increasing their commit count. I think you could conter-act that by having an effective calculation on the count of "successful PRs", meaning merged PRs to projects that: - Are not owned by the users themselves - Have at least a small following (to avoid spam) Just my two cents. Overall a great idea, but with lot's of small things you may want to look at in order to make sure that gitquest really becomes a success. Wishing you all the best :)

@glenntoews Thanks for your comment and your feedback! I'am aware of these 2 issues, for the first one, yes of course it'll need a lot of users to be relevant (this is also why launches on PH and other platforms are important). It's slowly growing, but it is growing! For your second feedback, I'm aware of this, this is why I added a daily limit for each contribution, and I sort contributions by types to not allow everything.

minimalist phone: reduce your screentime

The idea is quite good. Something like Product Hunt for GitHub. I can see that in the future you will make a Hackathon. ⚔️

Great idea! I’ll definitely give it a try. My only concern is that I have two GitHub profiles - one work profile for all my company-related stuff and one personal account for all my side projects and contributions. I guess there’s no way to combine my score based on contributions from both profiles. 🤔

@valkirilov Thanks for your comment! No, indeed, there is no way to combine them for the moment!
