The 404 error pages are rather amusing:

http://inspirationui.com/tags/254

^ Tags should really be you know, actual tags, not tag ID's though, how are search engines supposed to know what each tag is outside of the URL (which is the easiest indicator I would assume). Only just noticed this about tags.

This is awesome! I had been wanting EXACTLY this for a long time now. I'm not a UX / design person, but I appreciate the impact that it has. Normally I'll just look at what others are doing and implement my own variations on it, but it's difficult to find small examples, and exploring stuff in websites such as dribbble is tedious.

You perfectly summarize why I started this project. Although Dribbble & Behance are great for inspiration, sometimes is hard to find specific patterns for your use case.

Yes, you are right. Those URLs should be prettier. Thx for your feedback

very nice! how is the content sourced and picked?

I have a private chrome extension wich help me to grab the image & URL quickly for a particular pattern (I have plans to publish this extension). I curate the content from various design inspiration sites I visit daily.

I started this project as a solution to capture and organize web patterns that I like.

http://patterntap.com used to be great for this sort of thing, but then the guy behind it decided, ironically enough, to redesign the interface and that killed the site. Also Dribbble came out around the same time, so it didn't help either.

What you do is you collect, not curate.

PS. The hamburger menu and the "all patterns" droplist don't work in Mobile Safari. They don't respond to taps at all. FYI.

Also check out http://Crayon.co to find designs sorted by industry.

Was curious about that site, but why do they lock me out until I sign up! Hate that new trend :(

Weird that they would do that with this sort of site. Weirder still, there's a tiny link in the footer which takes you to the actual content (https://www.crayon.co/f/), which you can look at a for a second or two, or until you scroll or something, until an annoying signup modal appears. Said modal can of course be trivially banished by editing the DOM (or with a single line of JavaScript).
