Hey HN! sharing a side project I've been working on. I loved google Finance (RIP) and when they shut down, decided to build something to scratch the same itch. Would love thoughts,…

Well, thanks for raising these issues. 1. I admit the website is light on details. I guess the tagline and copy didn't entice you at all. Do you buy/sell things though services lik…

At this point, web app (desktop/mobile) and possibly an ios app in the near future. You are completely right though, this info is missing from the homepage.

Hey HN, project creator here. Would love to get your thoughts! Cheers.

Right, what you are looking for is advanced filtering options. Definitely something thats desirable, albeit hard to pull off for a side project ;)

I agree in as much as the small component I use is quite well supported and popular. Its a sort of insurance that I don't have to worry about bugs and it running stale. A lot of co…

Hey! (I made this) Stars do have more rating than the other metrics, which evens things out. Yes, larger libraries like jQuery are rating higher because of the ranking system, but …

three sorting options: recent, popular, trending. What kind of sorting were you looking for?

Potentially each item could have a bower package name or endpoint that you can copy and paste into terminal?

Im the creator of JSDB, so thanks for the mention! In the interest of equality, theres a few more that are worth taking a look at: microjs.com, and http://jster.net/

Ah good point on the first, and working on the second! want to be a bit more transparent, but basically, its simply a combination of the other factors listed with some logical bala…

With two unrelated projects I don't see a huge problem... People are not going to confuse the two, and I dont want to go into which is "more appropriate". Both jsdb.org and jsdb.io…

Yea, had a few people mention this... definitely my next addition! stay tuned :)

Yea, good point. The search system leaves a bit to be desired, but I'm working on it!

Can you qualify that? Would love to get help/suggestions on making navigation better...

Aah, yes! That makes sense. Ill take a look at modifying the design to do that, its probably a better UI paradigm.

Thats funny :) took me a bit to figure out the joke

Thanks for the kind words. The sort by should only list the current page/category. You might be confused because "sort by" ignores pagination and rearranges all of the libraries in…

Yea, that makes sense. Moved. (I'm a bit doubtful about that helpers category in general, probably going to change it)

Whoa, sweet find! Slightly differently positioned though I think...

Thanks for the tip. Fixed. Stared at it for so long during development that I didn't even notice!

This is probably the hardest problem to solve in building a tool like this. Ive thought a lot about this, and here is my thinking: Its not an either-or scenario. Tags are great at …

The beauty of a collaborative system!
