I've built this as a sister project of RandomStartup.org

This is so great. I tweeted this idea a few months ago with the hopes that someone would make it. I doubt you guys saw it but it does makes me happy that this exists.

Thanks :) I built it because it helps me discover open source frameworks/libraries/tools that I can use to build other stuff faster.

Did you decide to open source these projects? We love the idea and would love to see how it works. Thanks!

Is this truly random? The first ten or so that I clicked through seemed to be HUGE open source projects like modernizer, cocoapods, less, etc. Not just random projects by random people. Did you hand select the list it chooses from? Not a bad thing if you did, I'm just curious.

It appears to be from this list:

Maybe add an option to filter on languages ? As a Go user I am just mildly interested in libs for js (as example). But I would be interested in passing some time flipping through the most active Go projects on Github.

So I cannot submit without having a Twitter account?

This looks like it should be "random javascript github" based on what you have on the submit page. Namely that a demo page and github url are required.
