Leaderboard prospect

[sourabhtk37]

Should we add a leaderboard to the platform. Do we create something like a reputation(karma) of sorts like in Reddit, stack overflow etc. for users.

[nishutosh]

yup why not.

Ideas:

• have a general leaderboard like this or this spread across day, week, month and all (I prefer this)
• or based on per competition basis (which means multiple leaderboard for each

Any other ideas? (present in a formatted manner, don't use sms language)

[nishutosh]

this spread across day, week, month and all (I prefer this)

This is better.

Now, we have to decide how to give points to the users. I have an idea to upvote/downvote the code for a solution to particular problem solved by user. They will be rated by other users. how this works:

• There will be a feed for the users
  • The feed will have solution of other top rated submission by other users
  • These submission are of the problem that the current user have solved
• The current user will have option to see top-rated submission of the problem he/she is solving
  • The current user won't be awarded points for current question if he/she opens the submission tab of the current problem.

RANKING

• On solving a problem depending on the criteria (EASY, MEDIUM, HARD) some set points will be given. This will carry high weight on our ranking algorithm.
• The upvotes/downvotes received will also carry weight but less than the above one. Again they will be divided upon the type of the problem (EASY, MEDIUM, HARD).
• Like reddit,SO, HN etc new users won't be able to upvote or downvote, inorder to prevent spam. Once they solve some amount of question, only then they will get gradual access.

I like your ideas for leaderboard and scoring as well as ranking criterias. We can also add something like coder of the day where highest overall scorer of the day is displayed. We can show no of problems solved,accuracy kinda stuff in that.

[sourabhtk37]

Sure. Along with that trending problems (those that are viewed/solved most). We can show both of these on the left side of the feed like a panel.

Also, with the type of problem , problems would be divided on topics ?

[sourabhtk37]

As of now they will be divided on basis of expertise( whether it's easy, medium, hard).
Dividing on topics takes more manual effort from our side, we should wait till a community has developed around this platform.

@yogeshrma Would you like to work on this? If yes, then tell us what steps you are going to take to achieve this, we will improve subsequently once a starting pull-request from your side is received on this repo.
