Great idea! You should definitely make links to your own site clickable in the 3 examples.

Thanks. You are the second person suggesting this. It was intentionally left this way, so that people could try it out themselves.

I thought that might be the reason. Just that on mobile that is less convenient.

Yes I felt the same - if I was on desktop it would’ve been ok but I’m on mobile and it opened up the GitHub app. Love the concept though and can definitely see myself using the site.

This, it just wastes time and is a bit annoying.

I usually have to search for the GitHub or original website link in all of these alternatives websites. In most cases, I have to open a new tab and Google the name, They just don't let you leave. Libhunt is probably the nicer ones.

Please ensure it doesn't head in that direction.
