Show HN: iosframeworks.com - A curated catalog of iOS frameworks and classes

13 pointsscompt10 comments

I'd appreciate any comments and critiques on a new site that I just launched - iosframeworks.com

While developing an iPhone app, I kept stumbling across amazing frameworks/libraries/classes that my the job much easier, however, I couldn't find a concise listing of what was available.

The site currently provides a searchable list of tagged frameworks. My next steps will be:

* Allowing users to submit new links

* Also cataloging the apps that use the frameworks listed. This will allow visitors to see how the code can be implemented.

* Comments and ratings of the frameworks

* A blog with longer-form articles on using the various frameworks

Thanks for your feedback!

Looks great thanks for sharing. Here are a few things that came to mind while browsing the list.

In the browse view it would be helpful to show more of the description as many of them are cut before they get to the point. Also including the visit official website button as well as show details would be a nice shortcut.

On the details page it would be great to include an image where available.

Thanks for the feedback!

I agree the descriptions need to be better when browsing. I plan to increase the length and have them truncate at a word boundary.

Good idea to include images when looking at the detail page. I'll add it to my todo list.

Good stuff, but enough with curated already. Everything that has a specific person behind it has suddenly became curated now - be it a blog, a linkdump, another "Top 10" list and whatever else. It looks like at attempt to look stately and more grand than the reality permits, and that's just tacky.

Thanks for the feedback. I was going to go with "iosframeworks.com - Just another page of links", but I didn't like the ring of it.

Google tells me that curate means "Select, organize, and look after the items in (a collection or exhibition)", which seems like an accurate enough description for me. I'm ok with it coming across as tacky to some.

Very cool! I've shared it with the developers in my office who are working on iOS stuff on the side, and they should enjoy it.

Thanks for creating and sharing!

This looks great. How about an RSS feed?

Thanks! RSS feeds on are my todo list. Follow @iosframeworks to be notified when it launches.

i've got a few things planned for over summer, iOS apps are in there, i'm sure this will be useful!

thanks,

This is pretty cool! Thanks for sharing!
