Rep Compare - Utility for Comparing Reputation - Version 0.8

Question

New version! Includes a view of the posts similar to the Stack Exchange Reputation view. Just click and drag to select a region of ansers. (Note, still kind of buggy. Doesn't seem to exactly match up with the points on the graph. Working on it.) Download it!

About

_{I just threw this together for fun.}

Rep Compare is a little app made to show that StackWrap4J actually works. And, it is really interesting to compare reputation slopes between users. Place Jon Skeet and anyone else on a graph and see how much he dominates.

I plan on adding some features to make this more similar to the Reputation tab in a user's profile.

Features

The main feature is the ability to plot user reputation across all sites against any other user. Other features include:

• Color-coded key
• Site icons to distinguish sites
• Ability to select any range of points [soon]
• Display posts that fall in selected range [soon]
• Remove users [soon]
• Pan and Zoom graph to any scale [future]

Usage

To run, just type the following in the console:

java -jar path/to/repCompare.jar

If you run the command from the directory the jar is located, the path to the jar is simply the name of the jar file.

License

Apache 2.0

Since I used Joda Time and actually packaged it with the app, I figured I should use the same license.

Download

Download it from Google Code

Platform

Compiled against Java 1.6 and tested on Windows 7.

Contact

If you need to get a hold of me, just shoot me an email. jjnguy13 at gmail dot com.

Code

The SVN repository is located on google code

It uses Joda Time to make dealing with time easiser. (duh) And StackWrap4J for the retrieving the data.

Answer 1

Great job! Check out my graph.

Witness how I used to actually have more rep than Jon Skeet... then he joined the site and put an end to all that. :)

Answer 2

Looks great! Here it is running on Ubuntu with my lousy rep. compared to Jon Skeet:

Answer 3

I got Jon Skeet beat :)
