That is super awesome and encouraging to read. Thanks SingAlong/HashNuke! Keep up the good work! :D

  And maybe a story for homepage? ;) It's surely more engaging than a list of new users (which, honestly, I don't care and don't think anyone cares outside 'getting on HN front page got him X sign ups'). Although... I am quite curious how this post will affect your metrics e.g. a month down the line ;) And, yes, please, change your name. I found it misleading (I thought it's something like dogecoin tips on reddit, just for github) and hard to remember for people who don't know git. Other that that, you're awesome! Keep it going :)

    Thanks for the feedback! The reason we have leaderboards on the homepage in the first place is to quickly answer the question, "Is anyone actually making a living here?" I looked at Flattr and could not for the life of me answer that question. Now that the matter is established, I agree that it's time to change the homepage. I've added a +1 for you to https://github.com/gittip/www.gittip.com/issues/1074 https://github.com/gittip/www.gittip.com/issues/1074. Re: Stories, see http://tomslee.net/2014/01/airbnb-stories.html http://tomslee.net/2014/01/airbnb-stories.html for a counterargument.
