You’ve probably used tools like VS Code, React, TensorFlow, or Docker.
They power everything from billion-dollar startups to student side projects.
But have you ever wondered who actually built the features you love?
Here’s the hard truth:
Most of the brains behind them are invisible.

💻 Open Source Runs the World — But Leaves Coders Behind
Open source is the invisible engine of modern software.
Contributors fix bugs, add features, and improve performance — often for free.
But here’s the issue:
Companies and projects grow.
Products ship.
Users cheer.
And the people who made it possible?
They rarely get credit, visibility, or a share of the value.

🧍♂️ The Contributor Problem No One Talks About
You can fix critical bugs, write optimized code, improve UX, or patch security flaws — and still be “just another GitHub user.”
Your profile might say “contributed to 50+ repos.”
But where’s the recognition?
Where’s the visibility?
Where’s the value?
The dev world treats contributors like ghosts in the machine — essential, but unseen.

🛠️ This Is What We’re Fixing at Turtal
We built Turtal with a simple belief:
🌟 Contribution should equal visibility.
Turtal is a new kind of platform where open-source contributors:
Collaborate live in a multiplayer IDE
Get real-time credit tracked by an AI-powered Rankboard
Build a visible identity through actual code, not just resumes or stars
🤖 How the AI Rankboard Works
We go beyond commits and comments.
Turtal's AI Rankboard tracks:
Code quality & complexity
Live collaboration and code review impact
Time spent, sessions joined, and real contribution depth
Team collaboration through MCP (Multi-Coder Processor) sessions
No fluff. No gamified vanity metrics.
Just real technical impact — made visible.
🚀 Your Work Should Speak for You
Imagine you contribute to an open-source project.
Instead of a silent “thanks,” your effort is logged, analyzed, and ranked.
You show up on the Rankboard.
Other devs see your skills in action.
Founders notice. Opportunities open up.
That’s the future we’re building — where open-source isn’t just contribution, it’s career currency.
🎯 The Mission Is Bigger Than Tools
We’re not just another dev platform.
We’re fixing the imbalance between the value you create and the visibility you get.
Because open source shouldn’t mean open exploitation.
It should mean open opportunity.
If you're a coder who's ever felt unseen after doing real work — you’re exactly who we’re building this for.
