Don't pitch the value of your product with "We have a very high tech algorithm" until it works. Invoking the "secret sauce" when your basic functionality doesn't work is amateur-hour stuff, and degrades the benefit of the doubt that people otherwise give a new product.
This project feels like it's about halfway to MVP. This is more akin to a tech demo.
All that said, equating inbound connections with programmer ability is an inherently flawed metric for measuring how hireable a person is.

That seems to be all they're offering that's different from github's advanced search: https://github.com/search?type=Users&language=Python&...
But the order of that is based upon the number of followers, which isn't usually proportional to being a good Githubber.
I like that DHH barely makes page 2 while his baby is #5 on the best page[1].
