I really was debating doing that, but I hesitated because I was worried about encrypting requests to ensure nobody cheats haha. You're absolutely right though. This shit needs a leaderboard. I'll look at what I can do about that
i dont know what you have available but this is what i use Purple Token. that's base64 and sha256 and worth a look? meanwhile, i dont think i've had anyone bother to cheat on my leaderboards but did chat with the api developer to get that encryption in place :)
