    Build a skyscraper

    hi, hi, hi! Welcome back to the Leaderboard. In today's edition: a super fun way to check the weather, humble brags for devs, and a V12 engine for community management. Let's dive in.

    It's the little things

    Mineweather: Visualize the weather report in a Minecraft setting

    Not every product has to have the potetential to change the world in order to get me excited. Sometimes it’s the little things like MineWeather that make my day. MineWeather does one thing, it visualizes the weather in your location in a MineCraft setting. It’s a nice hit of nostalgia, and joy while being functional. I’d love to see this take off for even more games. Maybe a WoW version?

    Build higher and higher

    Git Skyline: A 3D visualization of your Git contributions

    It’s like we’re turning everything into a scoreboard these days, and GitHub is no different. Tracking those green contribution squares and showing off our commits on stuff like the sold-out DeskHub has become its own kind of humblebrag. Now, Git Skyline is taking that obsession to the next level, turning each of our commits into a 3D mini-skyscraper—like building a little city out of code. But as we watch our work morph into these shiny badges of productivity, it kind of makes you wonder: are we actually committing to meaningful code, or just stacking up progress points for the sake of it?

    Supercharge your community

    Wylo: An all in one solution for running your communities.

    Wylo seems like a solid way to build a branded community without juggling a bunch of different tools. The custom mobile apps and tiered memberships are nice for flexibility, and the new analytics and multi-language support in Wylo 3.0 add some real versatility. That said, with so many features packed in, I could see it taking a bit to get used to everything. But if you’re ready to bring everything under one roof, Wylo could definitely help keep things organized.
