New Features & Milestones

🇺🇸 Leaderboard Flags

We added flags to the leaderboard. Click a flag to see the ranks of devs only in that country.

😎 Project Badges

We already had repo badges, now we also have project badges. The difference is you don’t need to connect a repo to get a badge, but project badges only show your time coded instead of all repo contributors. We also added support for customizing badge styles with ?style= in the badge url.

💾 Backups

We improved the export feature with a choice of two types of export: daily or raw. For backing up your code stats, select the raw export.

📊 Download Project Dashboards

You can now download a project dashboard as csv or json.
