This is awesome! I had been wanting EXACTLY this for a long time now. I'm not a UX / design person, but I appreciate the impact that it has. Normally I'll just look at what others are doing and implement my own variations on it, but it's difficult to find small examples, and exploring stuff in websites such as dribbble is tedious.

http://patterntap.com used to be great for this sort of thing, but then the guy behind it decided, ironically enough, to redesign the interface and that killed the site. Also Dribbble came out around the same time, so it didn't help either.
I like this better because on dribbble, all thumbnails and screenshots are so curated, polished, or shot in that same tilted 3d with shallow depth of field... that everything looks good.

Thumbnails here look more real.

You perfectly summarize why I started this project. Although Dribbble & Behance are great for inspiration, sometimes is hard to find specific patterns for your use case.
Yes! Me too! I am extremely excited about this. I especially love the "All Patterns" menu that lists different types of components: popups, pagination, CTAs, etc.
