www.MakerHub.com is finally up! Just in time for Maker Faire

After many trials and tribulations, partly around switching domain names and ownership, partly around last minute bugs, www.MakerHub.com is finally live.

This is an alpha version of the site.  There are still known bugs and the feature set we were hoping to have for Maker Faire isn't quite there.  That said, it is usable as a place to enter your projects and allow others to collaborate on them with you.

Because it is an alpha site we have feedback links on every page at the bottom (a floating UserVoice widget).  If you see something that feels odd, let us know! We might have missed it or thought other features or fixes took higher priority.

Also, due to the alpha nature of the site, the number of projects available to view is really small.  At the time of this post only one from our first alpha user is worth looking at: https://www.makerhub.com/projects/49.  So, let's change that!  Start adding your projects.

As the usability increases we plan on doing design competitions to flush out the project offerings.  Things of all levels, like: design a beginner level project that teaches basic led circuitry & motor mechanics to design a hexapod robot that can walk through grass.
