@levelsio is this what you use to keep track of the people that are above you so that you know how many more products you have to ship to overtake them? :D are these info all available through the PH API, or you scraped them?

@sliver86 Haha, well I just built it but yes that's a good idea. I'm in a long competition with Mubashar Iqbal, but we both have to win from the most prolific shipper ever Clark from Invision. This is mixed data from different APIs including mostly Product Hunt, Twitter and Crunchbase. I'm adding data like revenue later too!

I’d say to aspire to be on this list one should be optimising for more than only vanity units like producthunt votes and twitter followers. Difference or impact made is ideally what you’d want to measure, whether that’s total user count, downloads, revenue, blog page views, YouTube watches, number of book readers, speaking gigs, etc. Total staff count also important as a positive and deduction. I.e. creating jobs is good, but also how much impact has been made divided by total staff across all products. Also be useful to understand criteria and a definition of a maker. There’s quite a few startup entrepreneurs in this list as well as indie makers. Is it just someone who’s launched something on producthunt?

@iamfledge Absolutely, lists like these are superficial and vain, so I had some first doubts to even build this product. But then I thought again, lists like these do make people competitive, and competition motivates people. If you get more makers competing for top spots, you theoretically get a bigger maker scene, with more revenue and exposure. That's my motivation to build this.

@levelsio I think that's a fantastic incentive. And if this does indeed motivate people into action, I'd say all the more important to drive people into meaningful metrics. Ultimately it'd be a very powerful goal to have a rapidly growing maker scene who are collectively making a huge positive impact, than just another variant of instagram where people are optimising for popularity. Yes, of course, like with Instagram, popularity can mean more revenue, it's a facet of marketing after all... but should Instagram really be the guiding light to strive for on world-impact?

@levelsio Btw, I'm not slating this; I genuinely think this is a great idea, and I get that you've quickly thrown this up with the most accessible data available. And it has indeed already made me want to boost my own ranking, but at the moment, the actions I should take to do that don't quite feel right. Longer term with the right metrics for ranking this could be so powerful.

@levelsio In the meantime with what you've got btw, a useful feature would be to auto-construct on your own Twitter account (or a Makerrank one), a public list that other people can subscribe to based on some criteria (e.g. top 100 makers).

@levelsio what's your approach to make tables with many columns more accessible on mobile devices? in this case, you basically limit your audience to only desktop devices... :(

@levelswild Thanks for including me! I'd love to see Indie Hackers data integrated into this (do they have an API?). That's where all my traffic & revenue numbers are!

The table is horizontally larger than my screen size on my laptop and I don't see a scrollbar at the bottom. The only way I can move from side to side is by pressing the arrow keys. Maybe you could make the design a bit more responsive?
