Indie Hacker Leaderboard Design

Working on an Indie-Hacker leaderboard. Always wanted to make an Arcade-style UI, so this was a good fit. Will explain how it works once it goes live because it needs some explanation. It is not about winning! Feedback very welcome, especially from game devs.

    I'm no designer but I just came here to say that I love the aesthetic :) excited to try it out when it's live.

    Haha this is a good one @adriaanb! How are you planning to fetch the data though?

    1. 1

      The data is based on Twitter followers. Every midnight a cronjob runs and fetches all the followers count. The leaderboard is based on 'percentage growth' relative to the previous day. So, it is not about the number of new followers and this will keep things more interesting. The hacker that has the highest percentage growth will get a place on the "Wall of Fame" where I display a little graph. Pretty simple :)

    Thanks All, for the kind words!

    I just managed to put up a staging-version, and I am looking for hackers and makers who want to give it a test drive and join the leaderboard before it goes officially live this Thursday.

    The idea is to launch on Product Hunt this Thursday, and it would be really cool if some indie hacker already joined the leaderboard by then, so people can see how it works.

    Please have a look and let me know what you think: https://staging.indieleaders.xyz

    See you on the leaderboard :)

    you could also track the points for each user?

      That would be a great idea! Haven't thought about that one :) Now, I am tracking Twitter followers and can imagine that not everyone is using Twitter.
