Forrst: Stack Overflow Meets Tumblr • Hacker News Board

I've only been a member for a few weeks but I'm beginning to notice a positive influence on my work as a result of Forrst. Most of my jobs lean towards the role of a developer and not a designer anymore, but since I joined Forrst I've gone into my few design tasks with more focus on quality and detail. I'm experiencing a new found motivation to put extra time and effort into details knowing I intend to post something…

Humbled to hear that.

Sounds like the dribbble of programming. Not that it's a bad thing.

There's also plenty of design related posts or "snaps".

It seems more versatile, yes. I don't know if that dilutes or improves the service, though.

Forrst guys, you need to buy forsst.com asap, I've just misspelled it 3 times.

forsst.com now redirects to forrst.com

I was literally two seconds away from clicking reply with the comment 'wow, you must have been the FIRST person to sign up to gmail to get that username', and then I felt a gear turn in my head.

Haha, maybe I should have used brackets? @gmail.com

I hope username@gmail.com didn't get an invite instead of me, I should check my account.

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)

you did awesome there. and Forrst rocks!
