We (me + a couple of buddies) were in the process of building such a service. Unfortunately due to the circumstances, we had to stop working on it but I firmly believe such a service can benefit professional development teams to improve. So I don't fully agree about not using such a service in your work place. Anyhoo, we did find that such a service exists[1]. I haven't looked at it of about a year, but at the time it seemed interesting though a little lacking in features. They do seem to have improved over the year. You might want to check it out!

Yeah, I agree with using it at work. I'd be lying if I said that ensuring the box for a date was "green" on my GitHub contribution graph hasn't motivated me to get some shit done that i've been putting off, or hitting a star milestone on a project hasn't motivated me to pick it back up and check off some of the TODOs i've been ignoring. It might be stupid, it might be "pointless", but it works for me. And while every single one can be gamed or "hacked", if you are working with someone that can't help but cheat a game like this, how can you trust them to actually do any work? As for getbadges.io, that's a bit too "gamey" for me. I'm looking for a more "professional" kind of profile or badge or card that displays this information, the cheesy little "defeat the monster by closing issues!" turns me off more than motivates me. But slap a different UI on that and I really feel it would do wonders for me!
