I really want to like OSF, but I feel like they sometimes waste time on pointless efforts that go nowhere instead of working on substantive features that scientists would actually use. In particular I found their effort to create badges for open science to be misdirected at best, since credentials of any kind don't really count for anything unless they're backed by an authority that's seen as legitimate universally in a field.
I also feel a bit weird about badging in science in general, since most of the most passionate people I know in science are intrinsically motivated enough that I could never really see them really concerning themselves with such carrots unless it meant that they'd get more funds to do more of what they find fun.
