Somewhat unrelated, it would be great to have a Medium-style highlight feature for codebases, where you could onboard developers toward excellent practice by highlighting good code in a repository that consists of various levels of code.

That's actually a really brilliant idea.

We have people sometimes produce the software equivalent of a Picasso, but it so rarely comes to light, and even more rarely codified to guidelines/standard-practice.

Would be very good to have "greatest-hits" of a company's codebase, that could serve as internal knowledge-sharing.
