This is really neat, and as the GitHub acquisition moves forward, I suspect a lot of Microsoft's competitors will move elsewhere, so this will be handy.

What about self-hosting though? If you run your own GitLab, how would you get listed on your search engine? Is that something you've looked at?

Other than Github's icon, I had no idea what the icons for the other check boxes were. I figured it out, but I would recommend using the name rather than icon especially since the names aren't long. I also recommend to start with them all checked by default then let people filter later.

Haha! Love the logo!

In terms of use: the search results seem good when searching a specific thing, but results can be a bit less useful when searching something generic like "python directory utility".

I'm not sure I can see myself using this over Google or the package ecosystems for the various languages and frameworks I use

PS: in isakkeyten's comment the implied name based on order of checkboxes is "HubLabBit", which I actually like better as a name as it rolls off the tongue a little better IMO.
