I think this is great and the idea may be replicated for anything else in the opensource world. For instance, how a about voting for useful git commands, useful rubygems or js libs?

It's not always clear, especially for the novice, what is currently hot in his environment-of-choice infrastructure or which vim commands he should learn first. Voting could help.

This is great, I've recently got back into using Vim and finding these cool little snippets greatly increases my productivity. I'm not very fluent in vimscript so a website like this is amazing.

As an aside, I'm having some serious issues with bootstrap lately. It seems like every new website I'm seeing is using bootstrap, especially the top navbar, and it's kind of messing with my brain.

I'm finding it hard to distinguish if I've ever seen this website or not, I always feel like I landed on a bootstrap example page.

(Full disclosure: working on two websites that currently use bootstrap as well)

Same thing with user signup happened to me. No visual feedback, taken back to signup page, no email was sent. But I could login just fine...

Right, that's what tripped me up as well. Registration just sends you back to the homepage. Login worked for me now as well.

Nice, love the concept. Any particular reason why you decided not to allow anonymous submissions?

Well, spam prevention, abusive user prevention, and user engagement (people like seeing their suggestion get upvoted).

Further, I already needed login for up-voting and commenting (or some other mechanism, but login was bar far the easiest solution).

I'm planning to replace the basic signup/login with something better: anonymous, third-party, or openid, maybe.

Apologies; I'd intended to post this on HN after a few more bugs had been worked out, but I was beaten to it. I'll fix the lack of visual feedback shortly, although there's currently no email verification.

This URL should show my profile: http://vimbits.com/users/29 Anytime my name appears, it should be clickable and show my profile.

Right now, there's no information to show there. Your profile consists of your username and your email. I'll put together a list of vimbits you've submitted at some point in the next few days. Not much of a 'profile', though.
