Sorry, but how is that "like Dropbox for Hackers"?

Well it's kind of like dropbox for ruby gems.

I don't know why you would equate ruby gems with 'hackers' unless you really like people to be disoriented.

Dropbox stores files in the cloud which are then easily accessible by authorized computers - Gemfury does that for code packages.

Who doesn't store files in "the cloud" nowadays? You could as well call this "Gmail for Hackers"... it would make as much sense as your "Dropbox" analogy.

Why don't you call it by name (i.e. "hosted RubyGems server") instead of confusing people and trying to piggyback on the "Dropbox" brand? Or do you think that your product isn't good enough?
