To all upvoters - have you had a chance to look at the solution that Peter suggested earlier on in June? What do you think about it?

This is a tough one. On order to get notified about a push we have to create webhooks. They problem with this:

Many users has hundreds of repos. In that case we have to create webhook for all of them. To make sure we don't miss an event
This requires
repository_hooks:write
permission for the CodersRank app. A lot of users wouldn't be comfortable providing write access.

I think a possible solution would be creating a CodersRank API endpoint that can be called by the GitHub, GitLab, etc webhooks. When this API endpoint is called it will trigger a profile update.

Like this you don't have to give write permissions, but you still have to manually add webhooks to the most frequently updated repos.

What do you think about this solution?
