I really like the idea of this, both as a means to discover new projects, and to learn more about plans/roadmaps/updates for projects I already know about.

A couple of suggestions, if I may:

- Tags: assuming the amount of content grows, it's going to be difficult to sort things that interest me from things that don't. Tags (like StackOverflow uses them) would let me filter to languages/concepts that interest me

- RSS feed: I consume a lot of blogs using RSS, and it would be my preferred method for a news site like this too. Ideally it would work with the tags feature above

Thanks. Yeah I like the RSS idea it is on my roadmap.

By tags you mean the github tags rights? Or people can add the tags themselves ?

I was thinking that users would be able to add tags to each post, from a curated list of tags (StackOverflow-style), but if it's a GitHub project being posted, it would be useful to default to any tags that project has (Still allowing the user to change them tho)
I like the idea of adding RSS support (to LibHunt); however, what do you imagine being syndicated in a topic? All recently mentioned projects?

Edit: OK, I will add RSS support per programming language. So every time a new projects gets into the top mentioned projects it will be syndicated.
