    <p>Users <a href="http://rapexegesis.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">on my site</a> create annotations for rap lyrics (<a href="http://RapExegesis.com/2027" rel="nofollow noreferrer">example</a>). I want to create a leaderboard to reward the people who create the most annotations.</p> <p>The leaderboard should track how many annotations each user has created overall, as well as how many he has created in the past week, day, etc.</p> <p>I have no problem implementing the overall leaderboard:</p> <pre><code>@users = User.all &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt;Contributor&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Annotations&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;% @users.sort_by{|u| u.annotations.size }.reverse.each do |u| %&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;%= u %&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;%= u.annotations.size %&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; &lt;/table&gt; </code></pre> <p>But when I try to implement (say) the daily scoreboard, I'm repeating code and the operation is painfully slow (because it has to iterate through every annotation in memory rather than relying on database sorting / counting):</p> <pre><code>&lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt;Contributor&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Annotations&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;% @users.sort_by{|u| u.annotations.select{|a| a.created_at &gt; 1.day.ago }.size }.reverse.each do |u| %&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;%= u %&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;%= u.annotations.select{|a| a.created_at &gt; 1.day.ago }.size %&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; &lt;/table&gt; </code></pre> <p>What's the best way to implement a daily / weekly scoreboard?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
