I like the idea behind this but even within a single repo I get information overload...
For this to work for me (personally) you would need to segment repos into much smaller sub-repos at which point it might get super confusing...
Again, I like the idea, but I just feel like you're trying to do too many things in one... (there is a reason why PH (as an example) started out as just ONE list, not infinite)
@sleinadsanoj Thanks for your thoughts :) We are actually focusing on Business, Tech and Development right now, but have opened up the repo creation for anyone and will see how it goes.
In regards to repo info overload, well that's down to the moderator. Mods can create repos as big or small as they like.
Nice one - I remember a snappy little startup that kicked off in the 90s with curated directories. I think they did quite well until some upstarts from Stanford re-invented search :)
Seriously though, we've been talking about this in MakerHunt lately. I think it's fascinating the way in which things have come full circle. The problem used to be being able to find things on the net. Now the challenge is filtering through the clutter and so curation has made a comeback.
I definitely think there's a big future for "Yahoo! meets Wikipedia"
@rossdcurrie Thanks Ross! We totally agree, and we've had many convo's like the one you mentioned regarding curated content. We really have come full circle.
Google certainly killed curated directories, for a while. But without sifting through hundreds of pages on Google, I feel the best way to find the best content for a topic is through crowd curation.
Like resources in one place, again I'm keen to see how crowdsourcing these will evolve rather than a curation...
small feedback, make a Log-In button and prominent....I registered then didn't know where to log in for a while (maybe I need another coffee).
Also, when I am logged in, how do I create a repo? - had to go out of the logged in section to be able to.
May also be worth looking at simplifying the process to add a link.
Sorry if seems a bit much, just letting you know my thoughts :) Good luck!
@bentossell Hey man, thanks for signing up!
To create a repo, click the explore link, it's on that page. We know it's a bit crappy, we absolutely need to streamline the UI/UX, so we appreciate your feedback and are taking notes.
An other step toward curation :) I thought of the Startup Stash variants as something where the value resides in editorial choices from moderators, I'm curious to see how crowdsourcing the content will go. I think there is space for non timestamped social curation.
By the way, small bug: if you try to upvote something when not logged in, nothing happens from the interface point of view, and js console show a 500 error on xhr request. Message in response content is " Undefined index: user_id" (so I suppose it's about not being signed in).
@oelmekki There is still so much for us to sort out and fix, the UI/UX being one of them. We actually have 'prompt user to sign in if they upvote/follow/comment' on our todo list.
@jorgengedeon yeah its gone forever.
We are planning to launch an app for home cleaning which will guide you to steps for effective #moldremoval from your home in Toronto & GTA region Canada . I would like to know if you can be of any help in development
Thanks

Looks really interesting, you mentioned that a lot of people already have lists (some of them very large that would take quite a lot of time to copy over manually) of stuff on Github, any chance we could see a way to one-click import those lists into rrrepo? Might not be a perfect import because of formatting differences between the lists, but any major problems could be sorted out by hand afterwards.
@matthew_sot Hey! Thanks for the feedback. We have 'import from various services' on our todo list in fact. We will be implementing the ability to import from a GitHub list, bookmarks etc.
