GitQuest: Commit & Conquer

Hi friends! I'm excited to introduce you to GitQuest, the first git leaderboard for developers 🚀 GitQuest is the first platform that turns your coding contributions into a game-like adventure where developers earn points, climb leaderboards, and win real prizes. 🎮 How It Works - Commit & Conquer: Every git activity counts! Make commits, create pull requests, and contribute to open-source projects to earn points - Climb the Leaderboard: Compete with developers worldwide and see your rank rise with each contribution - Win Rewards: Top performers can earn exciting prizes including: • 🚀 Project visibility opportunities • 🎁 Exclusive discounts on developer tools and SaaS products • 👍 Social media recognition • 🏆 Weekly and monthly competitions Ready to join the quest? 😉

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

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 :)
