By side projects I assume you mean web apps and programming related things. I've pondered a system to track these, but it would be even more fascinating to extend it beyond code - think: artwork, carpentry, electronics projects, robots, etc. Basically a 'Things I've Made' kinda site.
Edit: Interestingly, the thing about side projects is that most of their value is derived from what can be learned while building them. Often they simply die upon completion (or when boredom sets in) because there isn't much left to learn from the project. Because of this, I don't know if there's necessarily a personal benefit to archiving your own projects online (other than showing off / clout / credibility for resumes and such), but I can definitely see value in the social building part of it - which is probably the goal anyway.
- adlq 14y agoI can definitely see the potential of this, and would love to contribute. I'd go even further and suggest the ability to collaborate on side-projects, think github with broader project types. The hard (and fun!) part would be to devise a minimal set of functionnalities to power such variety of projects.
- ankitaggarwal 14y agoThats a very good point. Most of my projects were rarely updated after first release. Building them was fun. Updates were mostly in cases when I received mails from people using it, and in some cases I realised a need of a feature (I use most of my creations).
- alex_g 14y agoI've had this idea in my head for a while now. Rather than just for websites, it would be more for postin your creative projects. Maybe this thread will give me the motivation to give it a shot.
