Edit: Then you can access the list here: https://github.com/stars Edit 2: I now understand you want a place that showcases projects like these without you hunting for them. HN is definitely the place and I also regularly check Github's Trending page. https://github.com/explore
It would be cool if there was like a categories thing for HN though right because sometimes there are loads of other things on here. How hard do you think it would be to make something maybe that people could just post their projects too and then could filter by day, week, month in popularity.
I'd be interested in making something like that I think. Couldn't be too hard surely.
I don't think it'd be hard. Just start a tumblr or some microblogging site.. You could also just start a subreddit for this kind of stuff.
There are various sites to do very specific areas of code/library listing such as https://www.cocoacontrols.com
However, how do you decide what comes in and what doesn't without some democracy, I guess that is the issue. You almost want a shared tumblr.
I could quite easily create a sub page on github pages to have an archive of links. I'd have no trouble doing so.
You can get caught out though with how do people submit things they've seen to you also. If it was via email and you don't like it not sure how I feel telling someone their thing wasn't cool enough haha.
But it's an idea. I'd quite happily set up a page linking to things I thought were cool with short descriptions by the side.
Thanks for that, it's a cool thing to hear :)
If you have any suggestions I'd like to hear them.
As for searching for projects, it's certainly tough to find them, I'd say HN new page has a lot that get overlooked. Reddit sometimes but harder to find IMO. It would certainly be nice if there was somewhere for people to purely post their projects or if HN had some type of filtering.
How hard could it be to make something like that? Want to give it a go?
@jh3y
Although I thought this was more of an educational go to in terms of, I want to learn X so I search for X on pineapple.io.
Would you recommend it as also a source for finding new things then?
Default thing is what's hot. Good good.
I think the only thing with pineapple.io is that you kinda want something super simple to look at like a list with HN but it's cool. Already drawn to how to build your own flappy bird, flappy tyto?? lol
Thanks again for this.
