When collecting repositories for searchco.de I literally have spent hours hunting around on many project pages looking for the page which points you at how to get the source for a project. Its usually buried in a wiki page in the developer subdomain. A simple link from the homepage with "Get Source" would save myself and im certain a lot of others a great deal of time.
Its just a semi replacement for Google code search. To be honest, its just something I play with. If something comes from it great, if not im not terribly worried about it.
True. I have been using it a lot recently to learn how the Guava and Guice API's work in the real world. So perhaps that's its target market. I also tend to use it when trying to remember how some feature of a language works EG lambdas in python http://searchco.de/?q=lambda+ext%3Apy&cs=on
