This is great news. One issue is still how to retain these women in tech as over 40% of women leave tech mid-career [1] [2]. [1] http://documents.library.nsf.gov/edocs/HD6060-.A84-2008-PDF-... [2] http://kee

I agree with the comment about diversity; "Everyone talks about diversity in tech. I think the best thing you can do is not talk about it but just act on it". With over 40% of women leaving tech, we ( http://keepwomen.co

Thanks to everybody who already submitted their side projects, I quickly checked some of them, and they look amazing. I will go through them soon to publish them on the frontpage.

Thanks Dang! True. I first had a slogan on the website that "for Women who build things for the Web". However, personally I dislike sites that are so obviously directed for women, e.g. "Learning to code for women." That&

That's true, a Stackoverflow profile would be probably more suitable, or whichever link gives more information about the developer. There is an alert after submitting the form, and a redirect to the frontpage. It's set to disappea
