A password field that's a text field?
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.
Shouldn't the code/language/libraries used or even the title stand out more than the picture?
Other than that, pretty cool idea.
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).
That's almost enough to power a medium-sized JavaScript app these days ;)

(Oh, and a minor typo on the front page I think: "Learn more from our parnter.")
Well, I've submitted it already to HN. However, it just sinked, as it happens from time to time :)
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?).
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.
