The number of directories under repos/ is far too long for GitHub or most browsers to handle.

Github trucatees it to 1000, but I use a browser extension that adds a directory tree to github repos for easier navigation[0] that freezes Firefox when it tries to build the list.

oops, sorry. will fix it.

That's not really your fault... I've opened an octotree issue here: https://github.com/buunguyen/octotree/issues/163

That bothers us too. We choose this structure to make commit message more meaningful. Any suggestions to improve this?

alphabetical ? 26 entries or 2626 (aa-zz) entires ? maybe ?

But I fear, one particular element would be very much populated ? like repos like angular-, or rails-* or react-*. But still, this would at least be better than having the entire list in a single directory.

hmm... Sounds doable. I'll try to gather more ideas about the structure, but we definitely should put a README file in the repos folder to explain things a little bit. Is it possible that you could open an issue in the repo and put your ideas there? Thank you so much.
