Show HN: Open-Source H-Index (opens in new tab)

Have you heard of Hirsch index for academic researchers and publications?

We adapted the algorithm for open source contributors. Fun project!

Open Source Hirsch Index is equal to N if a developer has at least N projects, each with at least N commits from the developer, and each project has at least N stars.

Hirsch ≥ 27 is like winning a Nobel Prize—only a few hundred people reach this level. Hirsch ≥ 13 puts you in the top 10,000, which is on par with earning an Olympic medal. Hirsch ≥ 8 places you in the top 100,000, where you’ll find people making a serious impact in tech—think billionaires and CTOs of unicorn companies. Hirsch ≥ 3 lands you in the top 1 million, the marathoners of the industry.
