Forrst: Stack Overflow Meets Tumblr
- duck 16y agoI like the idea of this site Kyle and the design is awesome. If it works like it sounds, this will a great fit with developers. How long have you been working on this? I am applying now.
- kylebragger 16y agoThank you! I've been working on it since January. It's been really interesting building a product aimed at developers and designers; we can be a pretty vocal bunch. Luckily, so far, it's been awesome.
- njohnw 16y agoGreat site and a great community that keeps adding fresh content (a la HN). There's a solid mix of designer & developer related news and I always seem to find myself learning something new when I visit the site. Keep up the good work guys!
- kylebragger 16y agoThat's so great to hear!
- jmahoney 16y agoAgreed. I've found myself checking forrst first thing every morning. It's inspired me to actually get on with a few personal projects.
- biggitybones 16y agoI saw this at the New York Tech Meetup and thought it looked awesome. I think he said the waiting list is something on the order of 10,000 people (but he's letting in a bunch every day). He couldn't have explained it better - it's a place where developers can feel comfortable posting code and tech advice among their techy friends. Great idea, and awesome design as well.
- kylebragger 16y agoThanks so much. I'm thrilled it's been so well received thus far. (NYTM turned out pretty well given my anxious nature when speaking)
- sirn 16y agoThis sounds like a good idea. One question, though, I have this long list of "solutions" that is not strictly code or design, but still related (the "I just managed to jump through hoops to make this thing works, gotta write it down"-type), how does it fit within Forrst's content types, or it does not?
- kylebragger 16y agoInteresting. I think even if you posted it as a code post and just included a couple snippets, with the tips as the description, that'd work just fine.
- kmfrk 16y agoSounds like the dribbble of programming. Not that it's a bad thing.
- bjplink 16y agoI've only been a member for a few weeks but I'm beginning to notice a positive influence on my work as a result of Forrst. Most of my jobs lean towards the role of a developer and not a designer anymore, but since I joined Forrst I've gone into my few design tasks with more focus on quality and detail. I'm experiencing a new found motivation to put extra time and effort into details knowing I intend to post something for others to see (and critique or praise) now.
- kylebragger 16y agoHumbled to hear that.
- csmeder 16y agoDoes any one have invites? email: username @gmail.com
- iamdave 16y agoI was literally two seconds away from clicking reply with the comment 'wow, you must have been the FIRST person to sign up to gmail to get that username', and then I felt a gear turn in my head.
- csmeder 16y agoHaha, maybe I should have used brackets? <my username> @gmail.com I hope username@gmail.com didn't get an invite instead of me, I should check my account.
- jessor 16y agoThe first guy who is willing to spend an invite to me gets a free hug! email in my profile :)
- markmywords 16y agoAlso looking for an invite. Email is in my profile :)
- zzzmarcus 16y agoI'd also love an invite, email in profile as well.
- jgaudette 16y ago"Ditto", email in profile. Thanks in advance!
- burke 16y agoI don't think I would have clicked this if I didn't recognize the name from the shirt Gary Vaynerchuk was wearing at RailsConf. See? T-Shirts are useful.
- idan 16y agoI'd also love an invite. email is (my username) at gazit.me
- davidw 16y agoThe name makes me think of Forst beer: http://www.forst.it/ http://www.forst.it/ which is brewed up in the middle of the Alpine, German-speaking part of Italy.
- barredo 16y agoForrst guys, you need to buy forsst.com asap, I've just misspelled it 3 times.
- kylebragger 16y agoDone and done.
- kylebragger 16y agoforsst.com now redirects to forrst.com
