Glad you like it! The main idea is to share and learn how to make cool stuff.

If it gains momentum, it could be a great way to get new users for new projects (a bit like Show HN posts).

But I think if there's enough good stuff on it, then the data could power a simple but powerful recommendation engine. For example, if I know that 5 people used a 2-year old Thinkpad to make an amazing 3D game, then I would know it's good enough for my needs too.

The other simple idea is to allow people to sell their stuff too, especially things that start out as weekend projects. You can simply share the project when you first make it, but if it takes off, then just add a Buy button to get paying customers.

But that's all dreaming. For now, it's just what you see. So, please share your projects.
