For a community based around design I'm surprised the thumbnails are as small as they are. I like the idea though.

I agree. Making the thumbnails larger would be a big improvement. Also for me personally, the page looks slightly cluttered. There's so many little details. (I do like the logo mouseover though.)

It looks like it's not actually a design community, contrary to what the title here says. They say on their site: "Search by tag(s) through many tutorials, tools, and assets for developers and designers"

Then they have postings on things such as Vim and programming tutorials.

All told, covers a pretty broad base with some interesting stuff - ColorHexa[1] immediately stuck out to me.

Getting in before the cynics; This is great! You've done a wonderful job. Looking forward to see this evolve. EDIT: One area for improvement would be contrast. There is a lot of white, making it hard to distinguish between elements.

Agree with the contrast issue, definitely need some kind of bg to the rows. Alternating light colors may do the trick?

Thanks guys :) I am the creator. I had intended to post this as a show HN but it got popular on reddit and seems to have spread faster than I anticipated,heh. I really appreciate all your feedback and will look into any suggestions. I've heard the white space complaint a few times so I'll be fixing that

What specifically looks cluttered? I'll look at removing some things. I've heard the same feedback elsewhere.
