Not anymore you mean. It was 12 years ago and those accounts still exist

Like the concept. I actually like the competitive part of it. Reminds me of playing Fifa Years ago.

The cards are not World Cup cards (I thought it was in the style of the Panini sticker album), and judging by the style of the whole website, it tells that this was vibecoded.

What’s the actual objection to it being vibe-coded? Would it somehow be more respectable if someone had wasted precious human hours hand-coding this silly thing?

Yeah, FUT-style rather than literal World Cup cards the World Cup's just the timing.

Scrolling on mobile seems to cause sizing changes in the image. No idea what the stats are supposed to represent. I wouldnt call it World cup style, this mimics fifa ultimate team cards?

I rarely click on things like this, but this was brilliant; I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.

That's fun! 90, generational talent - if only! Hah.

Questionable ranking algo. Easily hacked. We shouldn't and don't really need to "gamify" GitHub stats as it's likely extremely unhealthy.

it's a fun toy, not a serious benchmark. The gameable signals (followers, issues) are deliberately log-scaled and down-weighted so it's not trivially hacked Its a card for fun, not a leaderboard to optimize your life around.

Apple isn’t accepting new dating apps on iOS at the moment but one of my stealth projects was called Roster

It presents dating profiles like baseball cards

And acknowledges how people that identify as monogamous are not monogamous - they aspire for monogamy and have a deep discomfort with people that identify as nonmonogamous despite the aspirationally monogamous doing the same things in a harmful way

so “Roster” is just keeping up with the nomenclature and adding some honesty to it

There is a nonmonogamous side too for people that have that level of communication

But the twist is that we inform you when you are in an accidental polycule with varying levels of privacy and disclosure hehe, as well as tools to communicate about it the way that nonmonogamous people have promulgated

The athlete card style reminded me

Ineffably magnificent...

I love it... Though I am not into the football much or at all, such profile custom generators are always miraculous... They highlight how magnificent, important, and significant the history is... and that every single live you wrote, you thought about and materialized, the actual effort, work, and love of people... for support, contribution, creation, discovery... will always be acknowledged eventually in respectful, wonderful, beautiful manner...

Thank you... heartfelt... dear authors, developers, Artists, People... for the miracles you do...

I so much hope... the website itself is not AI/LLM-coded... or is a slop... otherwise, everything above is not about it, and never will be. I hope so much it's not... please...
