Repos are curated directories, for everything. No more using Github/other services that aren't made for lists, rrrepo houses all the best lists on the web. - Users can easily submit links to repos - a community of minds is better than one - Follow repos - users have a personal feed of additions from the repos they follow - Upvote and Comment on links Some repos to check out: Marketing ----------------------- Startups -------------------------- Web Design -------------------- Email ------------------------------ Creative Resources --------- Pokemon VGC ---------------- Wedding Planning ----------- Future Music ------------------- Stock Photography ---------- Tennis ---------------------------- Slack Chats --------------------- GulpJS --------------------------- Sublime Text ------------------ We're just out of the gates, and still in Alpha, so we are aware that a lot of UI needs to be streamlined, and we will be adding a whole suite of new features very shortly too.
Nice one - I remember a snappy little startup that kicked off in the 90s with curated directories. I think they did quite well until some upstarts from Stanford re-invented search :) Seriously though, we've been talking about this in MakerHunt lately. I think it's fascinating the way in which things have come full circle. The problem used to be being able to find things on the net. Now the challenge is filtering through the clutter and so curation has made a comeback. I definitely think there's a big future for "Yahoo! meets Wikipedia"
Thanks Ross! We totally agree, and we've had many convo's like the one you mentioned regarding curated content. We really have come full circle. Google certainly killed curated directories, for a while. But without sifting through hundreds of pages on Google, I feel the best way to find the best content for a topic is through crowd curation.
You'll get bonus points if you can bring back terms like "World Wide Web" and "Information Superhighway" :)
I'm on it ;)
love the direction you are going on this. Please fix the login box so it works with password managers like lastpass.
Thank you! We'll be sure to look into pass managers :D
I like the idea behind this but even within a single repo I get information overload... For this to work for me (personally) you would need to segment repos into much smaller sub-repos at which point it might get super confusing... Again, I like the idea, but I just feel like you're trying to do too many things in one... (there is a reason why PH (as an example) started out as just ONE list, not infinite)
Thanks for your thoughts :) We are actually focusing on Business, Tech and Development right now, but have opened up the repo creation for anyone and will see how it goes. In regards to repo info overload, well that's down to the moderator. Mods can create repos as big or small as they like.
Well done Ben! I've been watching your streaming on Livecoding while you were designing this. It must feel good to actually launch it!
Haha thanks man! It feels great :D what's your LCTV username?
Looks really interesting, you mentioned that a lot of people already have lists (some of them very large that would take quite a lot of time to copy over manually) of stuff on Github, any chance we could see a way to one-click import those lists into rrrepo? Might not be a perfect import because of formatting differences between the lists, but any major problems could be sorted out by hand afterwards.
Hey! Thanks for the feedback. We have 'import from various services' on our todo list in fact. We will be implementing the ability to import from a GitHub list, bookmarks etc.
Great work Ben.
Thanks man!
Seems like this service is down :(
yeah its gone forever. We are planning to launch an app for home cleaning which will guide you to steps for effective #moldremoval from your home in Toronto & GTA region Canada . I would like to know if you can be of any help in development Thanks Ultimate Mold Crew
