I like the idea of this site Kyle and the design is awesome. If it works like it sounds, this will a great fit with developers. How long have you been working on this? I am applying now.

Thank you! I've been working on it since January. It's been really interesting building a product aimed at developers and designers; we can be a pretty vocal bunch. Luckily, so far, it's been awesome.

Great site and a great community that keeps adding fresh content (a la HN). There's a solid mix of designer & developer related news and I always seem to find myself learning something new when I visit the site. Keep up the good work guys!

I saw this at the New York Tech Meetup and thought it looked awesome. I think he said the waiting list is something on the order of 10,000 people (but he's letting in a bunch every day).

He couldn't have explained it better - it's a place where developers can feel comfortable posting code and tech advice among their techy friends. Great idea, and awesome design as well.

Thanks so much. I'm thrilled it's been so well received thus far. (NYTM turned out pretty well given my anxious nature when speaking)

That's so great to hear!

This sounds like a good idea. One question, though, I have this long list of "solutions" that is not strictly code or design, but still related (the "I just managed to jump through hoops to make this thing works, gotta write it down"-type), how does it fit within Forrst's content types, or it does not?

Interesting. I think even if you posted it as a code post and just included a couple snippets, with the tips as the description, that'd work just fine.
