Comment on Show HN: Discover your ranking on GitHubparent

Comments

Hi, Vincent here, author of Github Awards. Thanks for pointing this out.

There is already a small note in footer stating that this site is no way affiliated with the Github company, i'll make that a lot more visible.

The name still breaks the naming section of GitHub's terms. It doesn't matter if you put a disclaimer on it.

Naming projects and products

Please avoid naming your projects anything that implies GitHub’s endorsement. This also applies to domain names.

Edit: Also the background breaks this:

Please don’t do these things

Create a modified version of the Octocat or GitHub logo

i'll make that a lot more visible. //

Appears below the fold in what looks like 9pt* for me; I take it the visibility hasn't been improved yet.

* checked, it's 10px vs 18px attribution line.

No i havent updated it yet.

FWIW

I'm vincent author of GitHub Awards,

Which is the start of one of your other comments is also pretty deceptive. You are the "author of github-awards.com a site that is not affialiated with GitHub"; "author of GitHub Awards" gives entirely the opposite suggestion.

Maybe change domain to xxxxxx-awards.com :)
