This is nice, however my advice is if you're looking for something like this you're better off going directly to
http://cocoapods.org then running `pod try XXX` in the terminal to load the sample code directly in Xcode. This will work for ~9000 libraries.

I don't understand why this is getting so much attention. This is nothing more than a couple zip files containing a few Objective-C open source projects that happen to have example projects.
As far as I can tell, the only original contributions here are that the author tested the apps (in an old version of Xcode) and wrote vague descriptions of what those projects did.
As @orta mentions in another comment, http://cocoapods.org already has a canonical database of thousands of projects. And there are plenty of other sites that do a much better job of curating (and properly attributing) interesting projects.

That's really cool and must have been a lot of work collecting and testing code.
Can you talk a little bit about the intended business model, which apparently did pan out?

Opened a sample and it works really well. Why not upload to Github so people can contribute?

That website is just god awful. No, I don't want to download a freaking zip file and dig through it. I expected snippets and readable code on the site.

Here is the current status of the page:
"I hadn't expect this to become so popular."
With title: "The End"
Hope page will comeback online soon.

What is this? Where is your failed product?
I found only libraries. Which I find in awesome-ios.

My entire ocular system cried while trying to digest what the website was trying to convey to me.

How are these "failed"? Just looks like a nice set of demo purpose apps to me

What was your product? With this collection of working samples you could build a reference menu bar app with an interface similar to codebox, dash-snippets,etc...
iOS beginners will at least consider buying something like this, imho.

awesome @!
