Improvements to calculateRank

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Right now, ranks are displayed as grades, based on the percentile of contributions. However, there are 2 issues with this.

1. The way ranks are calculated make them somewhat arbitrary. Since the majority of people that have a github account do not actually use their account. It’s quite easy to make A+ through even just a couple of commits. EX:

Thus, this doesn’t provide a very good picture of how much someone has actually contributed.

Ranks are also a very opinionated way of looking at how “helpful” a person is on github.

1. The level of abstraction that displaying your percentile as a “grade” does doesn’t provide a very good understanding of how much a person has actually done on .

Describe the solution you’d like There are two parts to my preferred way of solving this.

1. Ranks should be displayed as an exact number, rather than an opinionated rank based off of manually chosen percentage ranges.
2. The way said number is calculated should be refactored, there are a couple different ways to implement this, but I’d like a way that takes into account the distribution of github users more.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered

• To avoid breaking changes, you can simply add a direct percentage as another option / parameter for the card.

Actually, you can make A+ with no commits 😄

It’s impossible to get lower than an A+, which seems odd to me since there is code to handle that.
