Get your ranking among all Stackoverflow users for your favourite technology

TLDR: Visit the Tags League page, select the technology and enter your Stackoverflow ID πŸ˜‰


At the end of March, Stack Overflow discontinued an important feature for me: the Developer Story. This page allowed me to indicate during interviews my rank among all SO users for a specific technology.

So old developer story page

So I decided to create a Tags League system as part of my open-source project stackoverflow-readme-profile which would allow each SO user to know his rank among all users in a specific technology (tags).

Thus it is possible for a user to display his rank in the form of a dynamic image called ranking badge:

user:8583669's ranking for javascript

user:8583669's ranking for typescript

user:8583669's ranking for css

In addition to the badges, a more "official page" summarises and explains a user's score with more information. In this way it is possible to simply add the link of the page to the badge in order to redirect a reader who is intrigued by this score:

➑️ You can generate these badges and view your score page from https://stackoverflow-readme-profile.vercel.app/tags-league.

Don't hesitate to post your rank in your favourite technology in comments πŸ˜‰


Thanks again for reading. If you are willing to see this project growing don't hesitate to leave a ⭐ to the repo and push your ideas of improvement.

Let me also know if you want me to detail more about how the league calculation works in a future article.
