This is very useful.

Any time line on when bitbukcet and googlecode integration gets added?

I suppose this could be useful in the future, but I don't see why they would launch with just Github support; at the moment, this doesn't do anything Github doesn't do itself.

If you came here to comment on the gulf between what this does and what you'd expect or want it to do, and you can write code, you know what to do: https://github.com/twidi/Repos.io

Nice use of Twitter's Bootstrap.

Kind of interesting I guess.

I find most of the repos I'm interested in on GitHub, so I've a Google Spreadsheet that calls the API and populates a sheet with all my watched repos' details - it's a pretty good way to filter and remember those good ideas you've seen.

The username is a variable so I also use it when interviewing people and seeing what kind of topics they are interested in. This could be used similarly.

Hi

I'm Twidi, the author or Repos.io

It's a (good) surprise for me to see this project right here !

There is a lot of work to do to have all features i want, and there is a full redesign in progress, twitter boostrap was a try at first, and now, there is too much of sites using this css, so i create a new specific one.

Feel free to report bugs on https://github.com/twidi/Repos.io, and you can follow http://twitter.com/repos_io if you want to know about future updates.

About bitbucket and googlecode, (and more), i have no deadline, but the first to be added will be bitbucket in a couple of weeks i think !

Hi

It's not really a launch, the site is public but only known people had the link.

There is some things you can do on repos.io that you can't on github :

- organize projets you follow (with tags) - find something in this same list (on github my list of 250 followed projects is useless) - the search sometimes find things hard to find on github

There will be more for the real launch ;)

Shameless plug: http://narly.us

repos.io is cool because it offers a lot more like notes and followers.

narly.us just has the ability to tag repos but its backed by redis and Backbone.js so it's quite fast and (hopefully) intuitive.

I took some inspiration from antirez's post a while back: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2338351
