Git Hunt - Product Hunt for Github
Product Hunt for Github
- pimlottc 12y agoContext? I just see a bunch of random git projects. What's the selection criteria?
- mrkrwtsn 12y agoIt would be really nice if we could see the source code for this site to see the selection criteria. It definitely seems random. It's not just showing new projects created on a given day, because I see projects that are really old. Is it checking for projects that are small and recently updated, maybe?
- 650REDHAIR 12y agoYou have to submit a project to be listed (like Product Hunt). It's not curated.
- 0x142857 12y agoYes, it goes the Product Hunt way, we'll have a selection criteria for the submitted projects later.
- mfkp 12y agoGreat idea, seems like something I would use. A digest email like github explore would be a nice addition. One nitpick: you intercept the cmd+click event, so when I try to open a link in a new tab, it also navigates the current tab.
- juhq 12y agoBreaking browser default behaviour is really bad. It makes me feel like I won't never visit this site again.
- uptownhr 12y agoi love the loading screen cli! Where did you get that?
- alphag33k 12y agoIt needs more languages. Also not sure what's it does more than what's on https://github.com/trending https://github.com/trending
- supercoder 12y agoI'd guess this is more about popular new projects , rather than consistently popular projects

- gear54rus 12y ago"You never know if you don't go" Maybe it's effective for this type'o'thing, the trick is to not overdo it.
- barce 12y agoI wish I didn't have to give up email. I will just use https://github.com/trending https://github.com/trending instead.
- 0x142857 12y agoThe Git Hunt was just created yesterday, right now maybe github.com/explore is ok enough for you.
- sergiotapia 12y agoWhen I Command+Click a link, please do not capture the event and open the link anyways. I want to open in a background tab, don't hijack my actions. This is the offending code: $('body').on('click', '.linker', function (e) { e.preventDefault; $(this).html('Redirecting to ' + $(this).data('name') + '...'); window.location.href = $(this).attr('href'); })
- Syrup-tan 12y agoI actually sent the developer an email about this with a patch. I find it quite frustrating when this doesn't work.
- yellowapple 12y agoI can't even comprehend why this would be perceived to be a good idea.
- 0x142857 12y agoWhat was I thinking... fixed this.
- bramgg 12y agoQuick, someone give this a $22M valuation!
- pekk 12y agoNo mobile app?
- manish_gill 12y agoUhh... http://github.com/explore http://github.com/explore ?
- mataug 12y ago+1 I came here to say the same thing, How is this different from Github explore ?
- boggzPit 12y agoNice idea! It could use some design improvements, you should collaborate with a design! Or copy the product hunt style, they've done an amazing job and it's part of their success!
- davvid 12y agoI tried submitting an existing project. Sure, it wasn't created yesterday, but... You're not supposed to submit a project created ONE year ago. People just want fresh air. That's a bummer. Why not? Fresh air did not come into existence yesterday. Some of the freshest air comes from melting glaciers, where air has been trapped for centuries X^) Probabilistically, most interesting projects were created over a year ago. It seems like a silly restriction to me, but I can also see it being interesting as a `/new` page. On that line of thought, having a `/classic` page where older projects are allowed might be an interesting experiment.
- 0x142857 12y agoGreat thought, will fix this hours later.
