Very neat — been looking for something like this! I've just signed up. Feels great to be part of this little social space!
Just a few questions:
1. Have you thought about adding an API? I can see myself submitting things to this site more if I could somehow integrate it with VSCode so that I can create a new post after having pushed a commit.
2. Have you also thought about adding a comments system, much like we have here on HN? I think that could be useful to allow people to ask questions about projects others are working on. I can see this site almost being like Show HN, but without the expectation that projects are in a finished state. Just wondering what your take is on that though!
3. Would it be useful to have some sort of categorisation functionality (like hashtags)? That way, smaller communities around specific niches (such as game dev, frontend, systems dev) can form and would allow you to see more posts that you're interested in.
These are just a few ideas I have — don't feel that you're obliged to take them onboard as I understand that there might be a certain direction you want to take this site!
Congrats on launch and your first Show HN.
I verified my email but still can’t post because of missing email verification. Clicking to resend verification gives me an error.
Also, implementing social sign-in lowers the bar for effort needed to try your service. Consider it.
Thanks for your feedback. I just tested with another account, it works for me. You didn't receive the email? Normally you can resend a second email 5 minutes after the first mail. When checking, you have to reconnect. Tell me if this is corrected. I will look at this more closely.

Thank you so much for this amazing feedback! These are exactly the kind of features I want to build.
I'll be working on implementing all of these points and will share regular updates on the progress.
Really appreciate your thoughtful suggestions
