Feature request: Charity Leaderboard

Incentivize charity donations by making a leaderboard for it

[akrolsmir]

Yup, love this idea in general. A few things to think about:

• There are two kinds of leaderboards that could make sense: one for total donations per user, and another per charity. The latter is a nice kind of competitive framing to cheer on your preferred charity (although, it's already kind of what the /charity page encourages).

• A third leaderboard that could make the most sense, actually, is the per-user per-charity leaderboard. This encourages large single donations to one charity as opposed to splitting up across multiple charities, which is a good countervailing pressure to what the quadratic funding match mechanism does.

• Where should this leaderboard go? Could be either on /leaderboards or /charity...

Yeah I'm thinking put a per user leaderboard on /leaderboards, to signify that charity is a core part of Manifold and not an afterthought or just marketing
