Show HN: MergeMax, a monthly ranking of public merged PRs on GitHub
Hi HN, the main idea around MergeMax is that the user can look themselves up and compare themselves against all the other people on the board. No sign-in required. We currently support monthly and daily leaderboards. I built MergeMax since I kept seeing people post on X about @poteto's merge count and I knew I could probably create something to easily see her and other popular dev's GitHub public PRs. I quickly found out however that her PRs aren't visible via our methods, since most of her PRs

Version & cost evidence
Source votes: 1 votes (Nov 12, 2026 UTC; cumulative since publication) Recent records to compare: “langgraph==1.2.21” (GitHub Releases, Nov 12, 2026); “[分享创造] 专为 V2EX 设计的内嵌式域名查询脚本❤️” (V2EX, Nov 12, 2026). Shared themes are navigation hints; they have not been verified as the same need or independent corroboration.
Who is affected
Identify the existing workflow this change affects before recommending an upgrade. Launch attention does not establish improvement; an API, pricing or availability change may instead create migration work.
Missing comparison points
Missing checks: old versus new behavior, affected plans and regions, availability date, compatibility, rollback path and cost under the same workload.
Migration check
Save the release or policy notice, run the same task on the old and new option, and compare outputs and the full bill. For retirement notices, verify the deadline before scheduling migration.
