Not entirely related to the product, since I am midway through the signup but something about the Auth that I thought you should take a look at right away; more so when you say Pinterest for "programmers" :)

A password field that's a text field?

This is awful for things like screencasts, I agree with jhasse that it should be implemented by the browser if implemented at all. We shouldn't fix what really isn't broken.

possibly intentional: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/stop-password-masking/

This should still be implemented by the browsers, not hard-coded in HTML. Like Microsoft's implementation mentioned at the end ;)

> It's just you, sitting all alone in your office, suffering reduced usability to protect against a non-issue.

And there the point to stop taking that article seriously.

The MS Solution is good though. I think it is the best. Better than the android/iphone flash up the last char for a second thing.

The thing I don't get about this is that it puts the entire focus on the picture representing the project, which is supposed to revolve around being "made with code".

Shouldn't the code/language/libraries used or even the title stand out more than the picture?

Other than that, pretty cool idea.

I've even registered in this project because I thought it would be literally "Pinterest for code".

I'm sorta GitHub star hoarder, have starred 1.9K repos at the moment. I use that to track libraries I'm interested in (and their counterparts in other languages, for inspiration), projects addressing the same niche as the ones I'm working on... GitHub star-search is good, but can be made even better. And also some projects I don't want to forget about are not on GitHub — and I'd prefer to have a single place to store all those in a searchable fashion.

Such project I would use on a daily basis (or I'll have to write one at some point in future).

> I'm sorta GitHub star hoarder, have starred 1.9K repos at the moment

That's almost enough to power a medium-sized JavaScript app these days ;)

Wow, that's ⅔ of what I want!

Are you affiliated with the project somehow?

You could store all your projects on codemade and arrange them into collections. The search function would help you find them. Is that what you want or something more? I built cm to collect my favorite projects and to share with others. I'm all for making it even more useful to other programmers.

Can you please add "Import starred repos" from Github, Gitlab and BitBucket? Having all those under the same roof will be an enormous help!

Also, will it make the full READMEs of the projects searchable? Astral (the one from the comment above) seems to search only in projects' taglines, which is definitely not enough for me...

"a place for developers to collect and share open source projects made with code." - If you are looking for this, I'd recommend giving a try to LibHunt https://www.libhunt.com/

Disclaimer, I'm the creator of LibHunt :)

Nice, it was just yesterday that i thought "does exist ProductHunt for code libraries and projects?"...and voilà, Libhunt! Maybe i should think something like "is there a lot of money on my bank account?" and check it!

Well, it seems someone submitted it now :) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12678385

Looks fantastic! Why didn't you tell me before?

(Oh, and a minor typo on the front page I think: "Learn more from our parnter.")

Thanks a lot, mate! Fixed!

Well, I've submitted it already to HN. However, it just sinked, as it happens from time to time :)

It's been submitted on HN now, let's see how it goes... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12678385

I tried submitting something that I saw missing, but login requires my email from github, so I pressed cancel and left.

I am sorry to hear that. If you wish, leave here the project you wish to be submitted, and I can do it on your behalf.

Unfortunately, there's a bit of refactoring to be done if we wish to disable the requirement of an email. Anyway, I will consider it.

Sure thing:

https://github.com/NancyFx/Nancy/

https://github.com/JasperFx/marten

Falls under .NET

For what it's worth, site is great, I love it and will most likely use it, I just don't see why my email is needed.

No offense, but doesn't "a place for developers to collect and share open source projects made with code" describe github? How is LibHunt different from github? Not trying to be mean. Genuinely interested

You should add Elm as a language on there, it's gaining some popularity lately.

And you don't know shame :-) btw, nice meta thing.

It's more than meta :P

So, this is like a gui to awesome awesome?

I'd say more than that, yet I will leave it to you to decide :)

Seems more like "Pinterest for Arduino and Pi enthusiasts", to me. You say "For Programmers" and I expect something a little less hardware-y, despite the obvious overlap in interests and the programming aspect to the hardware.

It seems quite inconvenient to use.

One of the posts is just a raspberri pi picture. You have to go to the "source" to get what it's actually about. The whole idea of pinterest and co is that you can browse lots of content just by swiping, not by having to click through on each one.

Maybe add a link to the source on the Cards themselves, saving a useless page load, or expand inline somehow?

Agreed, I would expect to go straight to the source upon clicking on a card. However I do like the idea just some UX improvements could make this site.

Any other UX improvements you would like to see?

Great idea. I can do that once the traffic calms down a little.

As someone who develops in PHP, and continues to be generally annoyed by the way many HN commenters will dismiss the language out of hand, I really hate to be the one saying this.

However, while PHP has come a long way and modernised significantly in terms of development practise, WordPress is really not an example of that modernisation. It may have applications for a basic blog, but I find it very difficult to take a Wordpress-built project seriously when it's supposedly aimed at developers and includes auth/signup + handling user credentials.

Agreed with everything except the last sentence, which I do not understand. Why shouldn't WordPress include authorization and signup? Are there higher quality PHP facilities for it or what?

Using WordPress for a simple read-only blog is OK: security is not as major a concern.

Once you're taking signups, the quality and security record of the underlying software is worth considering more carefully, and I just personally would not choose WordPress where those are requirements.

Auth code looks ok to me but I am not a PHP expert. Could find no major recent breaches--am I missing something? (Not being snarky, just trying to understand the issue.)

WordPress the app is inherently unsecure in many ways. A full overview would be lengthy, but an obvious example is the general architectural reliance on self-modifying code, which requires write access to executable files on your server (this can be disabled with some difficulty, but this makes updates difficult and completely breaks many popular plugins. Doing so is not encouraged or really properly supported by WP devs). This isn't the only problem, but it's a large enough one, and most importantly, it's by design.

Auth code might look OKish (haven't looked closely recently), but any general vulnerability in any part of the app as a whole or in any 3rd-party plugins potentially opens you up to data breaches.

I'm not sure this link is very relevant unless you're trying to posit that popularity ~= quality in some way?

If you're interested in further testament to its popularity, builtwith.com is always a fun read. I believe about 20% of the internet runs WordPress, a number which grows to approach 70% if you exclude sites not using off-the-shelf cms software.

If I can read content without login, that's a very poor pinterest clone ;)

Isn't the whole idea of Pinterest that you can just make this with Pinterest itself ?

The general idea is pretty cool. The main question is probably what the images should link to and what images to use for contributions that don't have a dedicated page (just github). I think the default link should be to the code but links to videos or overview pages are also fine.

I think the idea is generally a good one, people can post cool stuff they work on and it can even be a good source of inspiration for non-programmers or people only loosely interested (I'm thinking of journalists, teachers, parents and curious youngsters answering the question "what cool stuff can be done with technology"). Could also have some job market/finding employees implications (maybe a possible monetization route?).

Just a heads up that Google has a large learn to code campaign called "Made with Code" – it's the first thing I thought of when I saw this project.

https://www.madewithcode.com/

Also known as GitHub

I actually got excited when I saw this, I thought about like minded people on github pinning stuff, and being able to find projects that like minded people pinned. This doesn't seem to be that though.

This seems to be much more like instructables, but without original content.

libhunt (from the comment above) is closer, so looks like I found something cool today.

Put up a project, was there for a couple hours then the project was some how deleted. You may have a vulnerability somewhere.

When submitting a new link, I receive "Sorry, Unable to find any pinnable items" - what counts as a pinnable item?

Sounds like it couldn't find an image. Working on a fix for that now.

I can't make heads or tails of this thing. And I don't know what the heck is Pinterest, so I can't compare.

Maybe add an option to view content with standard pagination?

You don't like the endless scroll?

No.

I read "Projects made with Coke".

... er, Instructables?
