Show HN: iosframeworks.com - A curated catalog of iOS frameworks and classes

I'd appreciate any comments and critiques on a new site that I just launched - iosframeworks.com

While developing an iPhone app, I kept stumbling across amazing frameworks/libraries/classes that my the job much easier, however, I couldn't find a concise listing of what was available.

The site currently provides a searchable list of tagged frameworks. My next steps will be:

* Allowing users to submit new links

* Also cataloging the apps that use the frameworks listed. This will allow visitors to see how the code can be implemented.

* Comments and ratings of the frameworks

* A blog with longer-form articles on using the various frameworks

Thanks for your feedback!

Very cool! I've shared it with the developers in my office who are working on iOS stuff on the side, and they should enjoy it.

Thanks for creating and sharing!

Good stuff, but enough with curated already. Everything that has a specific person behind it has suddenly became curated now - be it a blog, a linkdump, another "Top 10" list and whatever else. It looks like at attempt to look stately and more grand than the reality permits, and that's just tacky.

This looks great. How about an RSS feed?

Looks great thanks for sharing. Here are a few things that came to mind while browsing the list.

In the browse view it would be helpful to show more of the description as many of them are cut before they get to the point. Also including the visit official website button as well as show details would be a nice shortcut.

On the details page it would be great to include an image where available.
