Yes, this is a cheatsheet aggregator/directory from cheatsheets around the web. Each cheatsheet is manually reviewed to make sure that it is useful and relevant. I think it is important to maintain a high quality level in the directory or else it defeats the purpose. In the future, I hope to add sorting by popularity to make it even easier to find the top results.
So why is this different than a google search? Well, in my experience, Google does not return the best results for cheatsheets. This may be partially due to the fact that many are downloads in PDF or other formats, so the relevant content may not help with SEO ranking. Another advantage is that devcheatsheet.com provides a preview before you click through and download. Finally, it is also easier to navigate between related topics such as Javascript and JQuery.

- tim_church 17y agoNo, right now I am the only one who approves new content, even in languages that I am not familiar with. Reviewing every command in every cheatsheet would be a very difficult and time-consuming process. In general, I have not noticed many inaccuracies in the cheatsheets other than typos or small errors. If there are errors, then hopefully users will contact the author and he will update it or issue a new version. As I've mentioned in other comments, I also hope to add either community voting or popularity indicators to help identifiy the best (and presumably most accurate) cheatsheets for each language/tag.
- raju 17y agoGreat! Thanks for the response. I really like the site, and I agree with you that Google does not always lead to a good answer each time. I wonder if a "Was this useful for you?" feature might be a good idea. I say this in response to your "sorting by popularity" comment. I guess you could use a voting system too. Great job though. Bookmarked.
- benhoyt 17y agoI've had pretty good success with Google when using the term "quick reference" rather than "cheat sheet".
- sjs 17y agoGreat job, thank you for sharing this resource with us. Please add this cheat sheet for Xcode: http://cocoasamurai.blogspot.com/2009/08/xcode-shortcuts-updated-for-xcode-32-on.html http://cocoasamurai.blogspot.com/2009/08/xcode-shortcuts-upd... It's not mine but I have found it useful.
- tim_church 17y agoThanks for the suggestion. I will add it to the directory now.
