When I Command+Click a link, please do not capture the event and open the link anyways. I want to open in a background tab, don't hijack my actions.

This is the offending code:

    $('body').on('click', '.linker', function (e) {
      e.preventDefault;
      $(this).html('Redirecting to ' + $(this).data('name') + '...');
      window.location.href = $(this).attr('href');
    })
I actually sent the developer an email about this with a patch.

I find it quite frustrating when this doesn't work.

What was I thinking... fixed this.
I can't even comprehend why this would be perceived to be a good idea.
Context? I just see a bunch of random git projects. What's the selection criteria?
It would be really nice if we could see the source code for this site to see the selection criteria.

It definitely seems random. It's not just showing new projects created on a given day, because I see projects that are really old. Is it checking for projects that are small and recently updated, maybe?

You have to submit a project to be listed (like Product Hunt). It's not curated.
Yes, it goes the Product Hunt way, we'll have a selection criteria for the submitted projects later.
Uhh... http://github.com/explore ?
+1 I came here to say the same thing, How is this different from Github explore ?
It needs more languages. Also not sure what's it does more than what's on https://github.com/trending
I'd guess this is more about popular new projects , rather than consistently popular projects
I tried submitting an existing project. Sure, it wasn't created yesterday, but...

    You're not supposed to submit a project created ONE year ago. People just want fresh air.
That's a bummer. Why not?

Fresh air did not come into existence yesterday. Some of the freshest air comes from melting glaciers, where air has been trapped for centuries X^)

Probabilistically, most interesting projects were created over a year ago. It seems like a silly restriction to me, but I can also see it being interesting as a `/new` page. On that line of thought, having a `/classic` page where older projects are allowed might be an interesting experiment.

Great thought, will fix this hours later.
Great idea, seems like something I would use.

A digest email like github explore would be a nice addition.

One nitpick: you intercept the cmd+click event, so when I try to open a link in a new tab, it also navigates the current tab.

Breaking browser default behaviour is really bad. It makes me feel like I won't never visit this site again.
I wish I didn't have to give up email. I will just use https://github.com/trending instead.
The Git Hunt was just created yesterday, right now maybe github.com/explore is ok enough for you.
Quick, someone give this a $22M valuation!
No mobile app?
Nice idea! It could use some design improvements, you should collaborate with a design! Or copy the product hunt style, they've done an amazing job and it's part of their success!
i love the loading screen cli! Where did you get that?

Maybe it's effective for this type'o'thing, the trick is to not overdo it.
