47 of the 100 best posts X exposes came from 2025. That is the most recent full year. The account is at its peak, or has not reached it yet.
The wall · 99 stamped · 9 not stamped · 27 with GitHub · 48 walked in · latest read Sep 5, 2026
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.
27 accounts placed
Above the X median for their size; GitHub sees under a quarter of days. The building is elsewhere or private.
Under the X median for their size and under a quarter of GitHub days. The record is somewhere we cannot read.
Unlinked: 72 accounts have no GitHub tied to the handle. The ship half is blank for them, not zero.
Ships: days with GitHub activity in the last 365, public and private alike, a quarter of days or more. Talk: likes on the ten best posts of the last twelve months, above or below the median of the account’s own band. Four corners, no rank inside one. Method.
Needs a completed year on both sides. An account whose GitHub peak is still this year shows a dash until January.
Rising: likes on the ten best posts of the last twelve months, over the same for the twelve before. Peaking: the last full year holds more of their top hundred than any other. Longest since the peak: the most years past their best on X. Stamped cards only; nobody is compared with anybody else.
108 of 108 · sorted by likes · 12 mo is the last year over the one before · ships is days on GitHub in the last 365 · lag is X peak year minus GitHub peak year
A tie is a quote, reply or mention inside an account’s top posts. Big faces are on the wall; small ones are only pointed at. Red lines go both ways. Not a follow graph, not likes.

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. 55 accounts were read before this measure existed and get it on their next read.
