太阁极客榜 (BitTiger Geeks Ranking)

太阁极客榜（or BitTiger Geeks Ranking）is a real-time ranking board for BitTiger's Github members. Its results are based on members' Github activities in the past seven days with daily updates at 06:30 PDT.

Demo: https://bittiger-ranking.firebaseapp.com

Motivation

By showing the Github members' activities in a game-style ranking board, we can finally help the github members grow their interests and get more engaged in coding.

We intentionally introduce some top coders in our ranking board just to have more fun;)

Components

This project consists of three components:

1. A crawler to dig the members' public data and calculate their rankings.
2. A Firebase-powered persistence layer for the crawled data.
3. A front-end single-page app to show the members' rankings from the persistence layer.

Usage

npm install
bower install
grunt build

The output is inside the build folder.

Firebase Date Structure

 |__ + user_events
 |__ + user_ranking_info

user_events is the data displayed on the ranking board. The data is set by the crawler app and retrieved by the front-end web app.

• created_time: the most recent update time
• events: a sorted array of the latest user data
• event - <number> - ranking_history: the user's most recent 10 rankings

user_events
 |__ created_time: "2016-05-09T18:37:44-07:00"
 |__ + events
       |__ + 0
       |__ + 1
       		 |__ CreateEvent: 11
       		 |__ ForkEvent: 4
       		 |__ PullRequestEvent: 6
       		 |__ PushEvent: 23
       		 |__ Total: 44

       		 |__ login: "hackjustu"
       		 |__ organization: "bittiger"
       		 |__ ranking_change: 0
       		 |__ + ranking_history
       		 		    |__ + 0	  
       		 		    |__ + 1
       		 		          |__ ranking: 3
       		 		          |__ timestamp: "2016-05-09T06:30:03-07:00"
       		 			    

user_ranking_info helps store users' most recent 100 ranking history. As now, this data is only used by the crawler app.

• <user1's login>: Usually we call it the username for the Github member. It is the same value as shown in the previous user-events - events - <number> - login

user_ranking_info
     |__ + <user1's login>
     |__ + <user2's login> 
     |__ + hackjustu
     			|__ + 0
     			|__ + 1
       		 		  |__ ranking: 3
       		 		  |__ timestamp: "2016-05-08T06:30:03-07:00"

Ranking Algorithm

We compare Total, PushEvent, PullRequestEvent, CreateEvent and ForkEvent in sequence and stop at the first available result.

Total = PushEvent + PullRequestEvent + CreateEvent + ForkEvent

Note: If you have multiple commits in one push event, we still count it one score. People have suggested using the number of commit instead of push. We could probably adopt this some time, but at this moment, we still count push.

Users can sort the members by other order such as just PushEvent or ForkEvent, but we use the ranking of Total for our medal system in the next section.

Medal System

We adopt a medal system for fun, beacasue we love gaming~~

Medal	Icon	Scores (Total)
Gold		> 49
Silver		20 - 49
Bronze		< 20

To Do List

• More stylish medal icons (We need a designer...)
• Integration into BitTiger/Wukong system
• Achievement system
• Better crawler for more user/repository information
