I like the idea, but there is a lot of scrolling and [More] clicking going on. Would love to see an easier navigation option.
Also just out of curiosity: What is the current minimum kama level required to get into the top 1000?

#12Awesome!
When you get a chance to develop this out, would be great to have:
embedded twitter follow buttons autoload further users when scrolling reaches close to the bottom look-through AJAX box for their recent posts/comments
Thanks and great job

#13Holy crap, 100k karma? I knew Paul Graham was cool (I've even told other people to read his essays), but I didn't know he was 100k karma cool.

#14How do so many websites break the zoom feature on iPhone?
So frustrating. Patio's massive face drowns out all the content. =)

The images are scaled based on HN popularity.

Selection bias. This is his site.

#19Do the users get to submit updates to the descriptions? Do they get to delete their descriptions if they would rather not be listed? Is there are a particular reason why some users on the current Hacker News leaderboard http://news.ycombinator.com/leaders appear not to be on your interesting and informative site?

Hi. Thanks for noticing. The reason is that standard Hacker News profiles don't have photos or real names. Therefore I focused on the 1000 Hacker News profiles that have such data (by stating their twitter profiles). Notice that HNSearch API limits the amount of responses to 1000, but this has nothing to do with the current limit (you can hack this limit by sorting ascending and descending). But the limit was not rea…
Interesting... it seems you must have some other criteria because my (admittedly woefully outdated) profile lists my (admittedly neglected) Twitter account, but I don't see myself on there. ~5000 karma should put me only a couple pages in.

For me, leader board needs to be sorted by average karma per post, with a minimum karma required to be eligible to be on the list (like 10K points).
The list would look very different with such sorting. Maybe pg or someone working on the site can change column titles to clickable headers that sort by that column. Not that it's particularly difficult to just copy paste as a table to Excel.
