The wall · 106 stamped · 8 not stamped · 35 with GitHub · 54 walked in · latest read Oct 12, 2026

Who ships. Who talks. How long X takes to notice.

Every account read the same way: days on GitHub in the last 365 across, likes on the ten best posts of the last twelve months up, each held against accounts its own size. The gap between the two peak years is the attention lag. Every lookup joins the wall. Sort it any way you like.

Public accounts only. Takes about two seconds.

Likes on this year’s ten best posts over likes on the peak year’s ten best, from the same year-by-year read. The line in the middle is ×1. This year’s posts are the youngest and still collecting, so ahead is a strong sign and behind is not a verdict. 28 more sit further behind. 34 accounts were read before this measure existed and get it on their next read.

Rookie year, no peak to measure against yet: @danieldxdere.
