A repository of modern C++ code samples curated by the community

Would be useful if it grows and gets a easily search able index.

I can't count the number of times I couldn't be bothered to write boiler-plate C++ to eg. strip a string [0].

I know that if I google the question I'll get a stackoverflow question with the answer. A dedicated site would be an improvement in my opinion. Mostly because of over-zealous mods on SO that confuse the reality of SO with their personal vision of what is good for SO.

My biggest concern with Googling for these things is that the Stack Overflow answers range from bad practices, to good C++03 practices, to good C++11/14 practices. It's difficult to know exactly what the state-of-the-art is.

Keep in mind that many shops are explicitly at C++03, or some other less-than-current state of the art, on purpose.

Very true, and the site will be a little less useful for those people. I am also planning to add a note to every sample stating which standard it depends on, which should make this problem a bit better.
