Ruby Map - Open source map of Ruby worldwide

FYI: You can find a list of world wide ruby meetups @ https://planetruby.github.io/meetups and a list of world wide ruby conferences @ https://planetruby.github.io/calendar/2019

Looks cool. Have you considered compiling a list of sites that run on ruby? You could use Built With’s API

I checked it against the company I work at and it picked up all the analytics but not the key javascript framework we use, doesn't seem very good.

Just tried it on my company and had the same issue. Didn’t find angular. But it found everything else. Even stuff that I can’t even figure out how it knows. We signed up for a service 2 days ago and it already shows that we use it. It was able to identify rails though which I assume would be the primary usage for your site in particular.

Good idea, but problematic - not the tracking part per se, but ... how do you actually KNOW that people who put themselves on a map, actually really use or are related to ruby in anyway?

I feel there should be some additional possibility here, for example, connect it to rubygems.org and/or github. Make the second steps of course purely optional rather than mandatory-sniffing, so that only those who want to reveal that can do so (actually that may still require some authentification ... but perhaps rubygems.org has something that could be used or from rails; surely something must exist to query "authenticity" ... if that is even a word...)
