Great fun! The gamification and cutesy badges are basically the opposite of the HN aesthetic, which gives the whole project a fun sort of tongue-in-cheek feel.
Because I don't have anything more constructive to say, I'll just point out what looks like a small error: the text for the "Early Adopter" badge always seems to say "NaN" in place of the user's name.

- arethuza 5y agoI'm pleased to say that HN user "NaN" does exist, although not terribly active: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=NaN https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=NaN Edit: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=undefined https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=undefined
