I've a game that is very leaderboard'ish and wondering if anyone has worked with making their own public leaderboard thats works fine on the itch platform? In a Javascript/HTML game.

As far as I know, Itch doesn’t provide any such functionality. I’ve experimented recently with the GameJolt API, which provides a few features, including leaderboards. The only requirement being that you need to make a page for your game there as well.

Do you think that would work cross domain? If I upload on gamejolt and use their system and then people on itch also could play and get on the leaderboard? I know that newgrounds.com have leaderboard on their page but the debugging wasn't that good and limited to show only on their site.

Ah, that is a good question. I’m not familiar enough with web games to know how that would work. I’m using it on a native game so I’ve had no issue.
