The "Languages" tab is great for finding interesting projects in less-common languages, e.g. http://github.com/languages/Haskell http://github.com/languages/Haskell

I dread github sites because the site is so slow; exploring it, while a very appealing idea, is unfortunately just too tedious. In lieu of a isitslowjustforme.com, is it slow for anyone else? I'm in Australia.

  It works fine for me. It's really fast and responsive actually.

  uh, have you used it lately? The problems were due to Engineyard and ever since github switched its hosting the site has been lightening fast.

    I mentioned it because I used it just now, because of this story, and I found it too slow to really be usable. It's, you know, a comment on the submission. Other sites are fast (e.g. HN). If they use a lot of javascript, that might be slowing it down on my eeePC; but it doesn't seem to be javascript heavy. I wonder what it is. Incidentally, git itself is lightening fast on the eeePC. EDIT on checking, they do have a fair bit of javascript. Most of their users, on fast machines, wouldn't be affected. A "githublite" version would be nice (like slashdot and reddit have), and might even increase sales marginally. I just tired adblocking their js, and it approx. doubled the loading speed (from 10 sec to 5 sec). Still too slow.

      That still seems really slow to me. I just tested my Eee, and it was loading in about 2s (in both Firefox and Chrome). Granted, I am in the US right now, and that might be helping, but my connection is not particularly good at the moment either.

        same here, i'm actually using an eeepc to read HN at the moment too and github is plenty fast.

  I'm connected via a regional Australian ISP at the moment and don't find it slow.

  The site's pretty responsive, but some things seem to take a while (like commit messages showing up and graphs to be generated). But then again, maybe I'm expecting too much.
