Hey everyone, I'm Chris, the maintainer of AndroidSnippets.com. Thanks to everyone who provided feedback!

I am currently working on a relaunch of the site which includes many of the improvements you have suggested. The backend is soon completed -- I will be able to deploy the new system in a few weeks.

I would like invite everyone to participate in the relaunch, by providing feedback, ideas, criticism and discussions about all the parts involved.

What would you wish to see in the new version?

A big part for me would be a nice user interface, and could use a lot of help an that :)

Then I think discoverability of snippets was always a weak spot of the old website, I'm thinking about several ways on how to make it easy to find and explore relevant snippets.

Just leave your comments, we can start the discussion here and move to a better place if required later on.

Thanks!
- Chris
