Show HN: GitRanks – GitHub Profile Analytics and Rankings

1 maslianok 0 7/20/2025, 3:16:10 PM gitranks.com ↗

Hi HN,

I built GitRanks because I’ve always wanted a clear, fun way to see how my open-source work compares - both globally and right here at home. The app pulls in GitHub data to give every developer an at-a-glance “scorecard”, then rolls those into live leaderboards so you can: - Track rankings by stars, contributions and followers - Filter worldwide vs. your own country - Refresh daily - no waiting weeks to see your progress - Discover rising devs you’ve never heard of and follow their work

Data: - 6.1M profiles - 0.7M organizations - 12.5M repositories

Try it https://gitranks.com/

GitHub repo https://github.com/gitranks/gitranks-ui

This is just v1, and I’d love your thoughts! What metrics or filters would make the leaderboards even more useful? Anything unclear or missing? I’ll be here answering questions and would really appreciate critical feedback. Thanks for checking it out!
