Ask HN: Features for a programming resource portal?
I want to build a website to help programmers find relevant resources for beginner/advanced subjects or tutorials for languages/technologies/whatever. I've had this idea for a side project in my head for a while now and I think I've finally convinced myself its worth pursuing.
It'll mostly consist of a simple search + tagging system on links to other websites. The main thing I'm hopping to have to make it better than just googling is:
a) User rating system to help promote good resources and demote bad ones (think something like HN).
b) Focus on programming resources (so less crap links in results).
c) Some social aspects to add weight and opinion to resources.
The social aspects I'd like to add are comments on resource links and possibly forums for every top level category (languages, frameworks, etc) for QA and general discussion.
Does anyone have any ideas to add to the pot? I really interested in what what anyone has to say about this (criticisms included).
