Evil Walrus relaunch

Post by aaronhall »

Evilwalrus.org relaunched last week, and has since been rebranded as http://www.refactory.org. Refactory is a tagged collection of code snippets that anyone can edit.

The response has been very exciting so far. A few days ago, programming.reddit picked up the site and since then, over 100 snippets have been added in ~30 languages.

This is still an early release, but I'd love to get your input on the site. There's lots of stuff in the works.. you can chime in at http://refactory.uservoice.com/. I'm also posting development updates on Twitter.

Wow, awesome. Has a lot of potential. Just had a look around and I'm now following you on Twitter.

If you're dropping all Evil Walrus identifiers, you should probably pick a different format for your tiny urls (if possible).
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

That site is extraordinarily well designed. Talk about a minimal interface! The snippets are fairly elementary so far, but I'll bet this is worth bookmarking.
