Connecting Users Competitively

Hi!

I have a bunch of friends who are using Treehouse, and would love to be able to track their progress against mine. However Treehouse doesn't seem to offer a way to add friends or such to do this?

Anybody else think this is a good idea?

I was thinking the same thing! My friend has it and I wouldn't have minded having a leader board with friends.

There's no built in way to do this. However since by default Treehouse exposes JSON profile data, with a bit of work you can make your own leader board.

I hacked together Treeboard last year to let you do this:

Oh cool! Haha. Thats a get around I suppose.

Damn. I wish there was a way to connect friends together on Treehouse. Gee it would make the community even stronger thats for sure!
