I like where this is going. I blogged about this very topic a few months ago http://derekmyers.com/open-source-information-overload. If you watch/star as many repos as I do then you realize the problem is clear. Discovering and filtering repos is incredibly difficult, but the vast resources are there and growing at an even more incredible rate.

Say you are a web designer who just found out about GitHub (I know right?), then what would their first steps look like? Maybe spend hours googling around random sites discovering outdated "10 popular plugins for Bootstrap" kind of stuff. I think this applies to all kinds of things as well.

I also think this is one of the reasons they took on funding to figure out these problems. I had been contemplating adding similar functionality to my GitHub web app. I kind of think they should start an app marketplace (I know YAAM) to bring additional functionality beyond the scope of GitHub that wants to manage (ex: they killed off messages), I realize they have Services, but I don't think that is clearly enough, similar to how Facebook recently added App Center.

awesome, thanks wise young man, this is exactly one of the problems I personally experienced that I was hoping to solve.

I am also interested in how this plays out. Maybe this project will succeed, or maybe something else better solves the problem. Either way I think it will be awesome.

There is so much out there, it can sometimes be hard to make sense of it or manage it in a way that suites someone the best. This is just my stab at trying to solve the problem.

If you have any other input on how to make it more useful please just let me know! Thanks again!
