| 15 | +**DevImpact** is an open-source platform that compares software developers based on their real impact in the open-source ecosystem — not just raw numbers. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +It evaluates developers using a smart scoring system that considers: |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +* Repository quality 📦 |
| 20 | +* Pull request impact 🔀 |
| 21 | +* Community contributions 💬 |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +--- |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## 🌟 Why DevImpact? |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +Traditional metrics (followers, stars, commit counts) are often misleading. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +DevImpact focuses on: |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +* ✅ Quality over quantity |
| 32 | +* ✅ Real contributions to valuable projects |
| 33 | +* ✅ Fair comparison between developers |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +--- |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +## 🧠 Scoring System Overview |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +Each developer is evaluated using three main scores: |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +### 📦 Repo Score (Builder Impact) |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +Measures the quality and impact of repositories owned by the user. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +Factors include: |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +* Stars ⭐ |
| 48 | +* Forks 🍴 |
| 49 | +* Watchers |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +--- |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +### 🔀 PR Score (Contribution Impact) |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +Measures contributions to **other developers' repositories**. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +✔ Only merged PRs are counted |
| 58 | +✔ PRs to user's own repositories are excluded |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +Factors include: |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +* Target repository quality |
| 63 | +* PR size (additions/deletions) |
| 64 | +* Repository popularity |
| 65 | +* Contribution diversity |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +--- |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +### 💬 Contribution Score (Community Impact) |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +Measures community engagement. |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +Includes: |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +* Issues opened in external repositories |
| 76 | +* Discussions participation |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +⚠️ Does NOT include commits or PRs (to avoid duplication) |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +--- |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +### 🏆 Final Score |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +The final score is a weighted combination: |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +``` |
| 87 | +Final Score = |
| 88 | +0.45 × Repo Score + |
| 89 | +0.45 × PR Score + |
| 90 | +0.10 × Contribution Score |
| 91 | +``` |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +👉 ContributionScore is capped to prevent abuse. |
| 94 | + |
