This year is shown, not ranked: likes accumulate with age, so 2026 is always undercounted against completed years. The GitHub side counts days with any activity, public or private, from the contribution calendar.

Read the postEvery line is a post by the account itself that names a dollar figure, newest first, linked so you can read it in place. ShipRatio checks that the post exists, not the number. A figure framed as revenue, MRR, profit, or sales is marked earned; a price, a raise, or someone else’s number is a mention.
