Someone should make a site where user's share pieces of code and explain why it's awesome. Allow people to comment etc. I want to read more code, but don't have to time to go find it.
I remember reading about Quake's inverse square root ( http://betterexplained.com/articles/understanding-quakes-fas... ) and how a website should be dedicated to beautiful code.
I've never got into thinking what features the site should or should not have, for example: comments? forum-like interface? code-wiki so people can improve the submission? user submitted code? editor reviewed, crowd votting? tags to classify code? tales of adoption in production?
The actual functional side of the code is almost done. I'll be starting work on graphic design/layout in the next hour or so.
I'd be interested to hear feature requests...
So far the only good thing to come out of this project is that I wrote a cheatsheet for mercurial, as I'm a noob and keen to help other noobs ;-) http://www.secretgeek.net/mercurial_flow.asp
Maybe if a user's submission becomes well liked they could be asked to write a more in-depth explanation or article.
