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

Reddit also has /r/Design and /r/web_design as well, if you're interested. I think this is nice though, because the spillover from larger reddit hits those places relatively hard - I visit HN for the same reason, so this might be interesting.

Both of those are pretty desolate places. They're like some post-apocalyptic world where what passes for good design is just about anything.

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?

I'm curious as to what deficiencies reddit has that made you choose to create a site like this. In other words, what features would reddit need to make you think that reddit solves the problem sufficiently?

I didnt come up with that tagline, this was submitted by someone else. But.. for the full answer, see the FAQ (question #2 and #3): http://pineapple.io/faq

I apologize in advance for the typos, it was really long programming day when I wrote that part of the FAQ. I just noticed them now.

Well, reddit just isn't meant for searching by topic and finding a list of resources. Aside from the obvious thing like it's not focused on news/updates type reading.. it allows you to very quickly find a set of tools. Try googling 'web design tools' and youll see it's kind of a pain. Try finding that on reddit and you may find a few threads on the subject but what if you want it for a specific language?

That does't actually answer the question at all. :) You could easily accomplish that on reddit with some simple moderation. What actually makes this different?

Note, I'm not just trying to be negative, I'm truly curious as to how this is different.

Well there's /r/technology and /r/programming, etc. Why do you visit HN?

HN has different technology that allows for unique moderation that creates a different community.

I quite like it. Had a look at the SEO tag and I was pleasantly surprised that on first look there were some useful articles in there rather than it being stuffed to the gills with spammy links. Same goes for the python tag.

I think the title is a bit wrong. This is more like a better quality tutorials link site to me, rather than Reddit. I was going to say more like HN but then I realised that a big part of HN is the commentary, which this site doesn't appear to have.

Thanks! As I mentioned before, I didn't really choose the title. According to the last 50 tweets on twitter however it seems my site has been coined 'the reddit of ___' .. ha. I dont mind though, I appreciate the encouragement from everyone.

Theres actually comments and discussion but I think it's in it's early stages still as far as finding it's flow as far as commenting, userbase, etc.

We also rule the site with an iron first for quality.

Nice work. A really great idea, I'm working on something similar for musicians though. Nice niche you've picked, I hope it all works out for you. As someone else has already pointed out, you need to fix that contrast my eyes find it hard to focus between text and backgrounds besides that I would definitely use this.

A lot of people have recommended this but I'm not sure the best way to really go about doing this... do you have any ideas?

While I am not a fully-fledged designer I would experiment with changing the background colour to an off-white, something like: #EFEFEF - you'll notice if you do that then things are easier to read immediately because content is being separated into its respected sections.

The white you have around each submission is fine, changing the background colour seems to make it easier (at least for me) to read the site. There are probably other ways, but this is the first immediate thing I can recommend.

Thank you very much.. this is definitely something I will tweak simply due to the amount of people requesting it.

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

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.)

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

The fade in technique is super sexy even if they are a tad small! ;)

haha, url2png, mi amigo!

I love the branding. Regarding the limit on creating new tags when submitting, while the site is new I think you should lift that restriction. I wanted to add a new tag ("cheat sheets", seems like a common one).

I have gone ahead and added the tag for you. I wanted to basically force people to add to what I have instead of using tags that already exist but they didnt know what to search for. If you tell me what resource it is that you wanted that tag I will edit it (this feature to let users edit their own post is in the works, ive already coded it i just need to run some tests for bugs, and ill push it out)

I like the idea and plan to make it my home page, but there is lot of coding nerdliness that doesn't exactly fit with design.

Are you just trying to fill it out for now and as it gets busier, narrow the focus?

It's actually for both designers and developers, not just designers. But perhaps you could add a few default tags you like, "web design" for instance.

Handy. Thanks :)

I'm working on something similar at the moment. Looks great!
