Thanks for posting that link, Hugo! The Good News is that Notesclub seems to list hundreds of Livebooks. Also, I found the search and navigation features to be fairly effective, after a bit of exploration.
The Bad News is that, like Hex.pm, Notesclub has no topical organization and the searching seems to be limited to subject lines, etc. So, finding a Livebook on a particular topic could be a real challenge.
I’m not at all sure how this problem should be resolved, but I think it needs to be addressed. As folks continue to create Livebooks and Elixir (etc) packages, finding the Right One ™ is going to become an increasing issue.
When I’m using Hex.pm, I generally use the download count as a rough measure of popularity. Maybe something like this could be added to Notesclub. Alternatively, some sort of category or keyword tagging might be worth a try…
On a related note, it might be worthwhile to harvest the names of packages brought in via Mix.install. For example, if a Livebook (or really, any Elixir offering) uses Ecto, some database magic is likely to be involved.
FWIW, I tried a couple of GitHub searches, with varying results:
- Repository search results · GitHub - 20 hits
- Repository search results · GitHub - 350 hits
