Hello there! I'm the creator of Devstash and I'd like to thank you for your feedback! I'll be getting a lot of bugs here fixed as well as design issues as soon as possible. To enforce the focus on CS (Although the mission states that the focus is on CS, I personally allow posts that convey the use of software in some way) I'll mostly be moderating the site quite heavily, which isn't a hassle really since I visit my own site every day. I also do plan on doing some automation in terms of moderating posts that come into the site. And can you clarify your last question please?

I submitted a link, including some extra text. The submission failed, telling me that the extra text can only be 140 chars. That wasn't obvious, and it didn't tell me how much I missed by, so I didn't know how heavily I would have to edit what I'd put.

Edit: Now I see that it says there's a 140 char limit - I didn't see that first time round. It's part of the same contrast issue - really hard to see.

Edit: OK - you changed it. Thanks.

If you are strict with the terms, 1(!) article seems to actually be about "computer science", the others are random software development stuff. You might want to make the focus clearer to avoid confusion and misunderstandings (HN has this kind of discussions all the time because people think it is "startup news" or "development news" or ...)
Thank you for your feedback detaro! I'm not too strict on what is posted, in fact I simply adore finding projects that other people have made and so I allow users to post their side-projects, podcasts, and other resources. I do agree that I'll have to make the about page much more clearer.
That's like the subreddit "cscareerquestions" which is mostly about software engineering jobs.
That has now been fixed. :)
