I remember when I started this. This was a Saturday and I was doing nothing and in a boredom mood.

While cleaning my read list of the week, I saw a lot of GitHub links of awesome projects and libraries. I was clicking in 'watch' on all of them as usual because, at that time, no service (like Delicious or Evernote) would be a good and easy way to keep this list for my future needs.

So, a thought sparkled from my bored mind: hey! What about a bookmark app to this projects, everything inside a github repo?

Then I started coding this idea in Python, as a reason to learn Flask and see how Google App Engine works.

GitHub API is pretty awesome. They let you do almost everything in a repo (a little hard sometimes, because they built the API to follow Git's workflow). I'm not the one to say how good is this API, but it doesn't mean I hadn't any kind of problem. But everything went better than expected.

After I coded about 60-70% of the project, I discovered ZooTool (what works for my needs to collect GitHub projects) and other (bigger) projects appeared. These projects need more from my attention and that's why I'm writing this: I released the source code in GitHub, so if you're interested in this project (or bored), you can fork it and finish as you wish.

The README contains my initial ideas, what's ready and what's missing. Fork it, give it any direction you wish, forgive any bad code I've wrote (I'm a PHP, C# and Objective-C coder trying to learn Python), publish it and show me the result.
