@_jacksmith mentioned this yesterday in the Pistats post - Would you wanna know? that's the real question here! ;)

@_jacksmith @bramk Yeah I couldn't comment yesterday but I wanted to jump in on his comment ;) The more people join on the leaderboard, the merrier !
Jack Smith
@bramk @alexeichemenda very cool. Alexei - when did you build this?
Alexei Chemenda

@bramk @_jacksmith Sorry I had some issues to deal with. I started building it this WE, and really put in some effort yesterday night after Pistats.io was out and people were complaining + no leaderboard. Their UI is really awesome though. [EDIT] Complaining about the email necessity.

Hey guys, I made this leaderboard / Uber stats this WE and decided to share with others, especially since I saw the comments yesterday about Pistats.io (Great design & great job!!!). I spent a lot of money on Uber trips, decided to know how much exactly. I was AMAZED to see how much I spent. And the leaderboard is here to make it fun :) I now understand why Uber is a 40 billion dollar company. We're spending so much, without even realising it..

@alexeichemenda How much did you spend? :-)
Alexei Chemenda

@benjaminnetter it's scary.. $7225 ... I wish there was a frequent Uber program :)
Alexei Chemenda

@yoroomie yep ! how did it go for you ?
Giordano Contestabile
It stopped after 40 pages and wasn't able to report my total (yeah, been using Uber a lot since 2012...)
Alexei Chemenda

@giordanobc Interesting, I only got to test out 27 pages so far, and it worked fine. I'll try to fix that, I'll keep you posted. Sorry about that Giordano.

@giordanobc What browser are you using ? Can you open the developer console (CMD + ALT + J on Chrome Mac, CMD + ALT + C on Safari Mac, CTRL + ALT + J on Windows) and send me the report to alexei [dot] chemenda [at] gmail [dot] com ? That would be really helpful. Thanks !
Giordano Contestabile
@alexeichemenda I'm on Chrome. You mean I should run it again and send you the report from when it hangs?
Alexei Chemenda
Maker
@giordanobc if it's not too much trouble, it would help a lot. If you can't, I totally understand and I'll look into it and will try to understand what's going on. Thanks so much !
Mike Holford
Oh god... Would be super cool if it looked at your routes and worked out how much money you could have saved with the bus... actually screw that I don't want to see that statistic!
Alexei Chemenda
Maker
@mikelholford It would be really interesting to do that actually ! We could take an average 10 minute walk max to get to the bus (ie if it's further away, take an uber). I'll put that on the wish list :) thanks for the feedback !
Jack Smith
says total number of shared rides = 1. I've definitely had more shared rides than that, as I always use uberpool.
Alexei Chemenda
Maker
@_jacksmith my bad. by "shared rides", I meant "split rides" (when the ride was $12 but you split it with a friend of yours)
Alexei Chemenda
Maker
@_jacksmith Fixed btw. Thanks for the feedback !

Uber will hate this, making everyone cringe on how much they actually spend. Amazing though, I always wanted to know my Uber stats, now I just want to weep!
Alexei Chemenda
Maker
@kyleverywhere I actually thought about this: whether Uber will hate it or not. I'm a huge fan of Uber and didn't want to hurt the brand. I also think that if they jumped in and interacted with the customers on the platform, it could be awesome for them (add a rewards program, say Hi to these top customers, offer gifts to the top 20 leaderboard, come here comment on Product Hunt...). I reached out to them, didn't hear back (yet). Weep on Kyle, weep on :)
Anand Sharma
Hey I'm #1 on your leaderboard. I don't know if that is winning or losing.
Alexei Chemenda
Maker
@aprilzero well, that's debatable :) 1247 is a LOT of trips ! I'll agree to offer a bottle of champaign to the #1 on the leaderboard on May 1st 10AM PST, *and* if it reaches 10.000 users points. Hey, maybe Uber will want to jump in too on the gift and show some gratitude to its customers :) [EDIT] : we're at around 1000 in a few hours. Let's make it big !
Andrew Brackin
Top 10 :'(

@brackin Let's see in a few days how things turn out :)

Interesting, I only got to test out 27 pages so far, and it worked fine. I'll try to fix that, I'll keep you posted. Sorry about that Giordano.
Will Lam
I guess I didn't spend that much compared to some of you here.. about $438 over 22 rides here in Toronto
Alexei Chemenda
Maker
@will_lam That's still a lot of money for 20 trips ! It's all relative to your number of trips. I hope you're more aware of this spending now :)
Stuart Parmenter
I'm afraid. This is going to take a while
Alexei Chemenda
Maker
@stuartparmenter so far the top 1 is at 1534 rides and $20.000 :) I have 460 rides and it takes about 90 seconds.. Let me know !
Stuart Parmenter
Those rides from 2011 really add up. Also undecided if being in the top 3 is winning or losing.
Alexei Chemenda
Maker
@stuartparmenter This will probably be a big debate :) For me it's really not about winning or losing, it's about awareness. We just have no idea how much we spend on this. I'm glad I could try to bring this awareness to some people on PH ! What's your #rides ?
Alexei Chemenda
Maker
@stuartparmenter that's a good amount of rides you got there !
Oliver Johnston
I think I'm going to throw up.
Alexei Chemenda
Maker
@o_iver because of the design :) ? Or because of your total amount ? What'd you get ?
Alexei Chemenda
Maker
By the way I'll be offering a bottle of champaign to the top user on April 2nd (not may 1st, as stated initially) for him to celebrate :) Have fun !
Kyle Hufford
Agreed Alexei, they need to reward us top payers better! It would dry the tears up a bit.
Alexei Chemenda
Maker
It definitely would ! and it would make me less itchy about taking an uber knowing that it converts to points and / or status for priority cars.

Be interesting to see how many other startups release their data to the public.
