What is it doing while "processing"? A progress bar would be a good idea.

Show raw repo and gist counts
From 1 comment

Top scorer within an organization

Neat! It'd be really cool to see the top-scorer in an organization. Trying to compute the score of tobytripp (a coworker) leaves me at the secret of life with both "Error in…
