I like the idea. The site seems most beneficial as a way to discover new projects, under the radar etc. When you browse projects you should see the descriptions along with the titles. I think that could be more important than the tags. Also should have a simple way when you enter a project to denote the status. Is it still in the early phase or getting ready to launch. another issue is, would the projects stay there after launch? How long after. It could get cluttered with a bunch of 'established' start-ups as well as half-done neglected projects from years ago. -could be a way other than following to "rate up" a project... like a thumbs up or whatever. so you can have some kind of hotlist. also i imagine it could be a platform for finding collaborators/co-founders. So one part of posting a project could be to note whether you are looking for other people to help etc. anyway. keep up the good work, let me know if you want some more feedback anytime :-)

benjaminlotan, Haha! I have thought of basically everything you wrote. I'm glad that you get it. I will be putting a status for every project to denote its stages (e.g. idea, private beta, public, etc). There will be an area where people can browse the apps that are waiting to be reviewed. Very much like the 'Review my startup' threads here on HN. One of the motivations for me when I started building the site was to find people to collaborate with. I want to know other developers who are coding in android, python, django & appengine and also the ones who are interested in a particular category (like classifieds, mobile). I also decided to add location so you'll be able to see other developers near you. I have a larger vision for the site (beyond developers/side projects) but it will all depend on what I learn from releasing it just to developers first.
