Introducing Gemfury - It's like Dropbox for Hackers

I closed when the first thing was to me chose a "weapon" (seriously?) of choice instead of giving me whatever the site's offering. What if I like Ruby AND Perl AND Node.js?<p>Edit: I know that Perl is not an option there, it was just for showing how a more "open" approach would be better. Also, the name implies that is a tool for people who likes/uses Ruby (gem). So people would dismiss it based only on the name, not visiting and seeing that there's more options.

This is the most irritating design I've seen in a while. Please link to something descriptive, not a deliberately text-blurred/obfuscated page that requires you to select between various languages that I don't actually want to use.<p>As an aside, I'm not sure why I would use this instead of dropbox or a cloud-accessible version control system. However, given that I can't actually read the explanatory text, I will never find out.

So, my current projects involve none of your weapons of choice. This renders me confused about what to do next and unsure of the value of this service.<p>I suggest that you include a "More information" link on your initial pop-up div so that people like me won't click away from your site in only a few seconds.

The root URL is probable the better place to start: <a href="http://www.gemfury.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gemfury.com/</a>

What the fuck is it? Following the link /l it is immediately asking for my details without telling WTF it is - is a grade A example of retarded marketing.

I immediately cringe at every single instance I see "it's like X for Y!" At this point has this snow clone passed into the irony space? Is everyone using it ironically at this point?

All I have to say after looking at your site is:<p>1) thanks for msbetatesting hackernews, 2) did you even test your site for BS errors, you noobs, 3) not a bad idea, but srsly, what's wrong with github (that everyone and their mother uses)?<p>This website is like the movie, 'Hackers'. I would appreciate an explanation.

I'd be interesting in integrating this with Seed (<a href="http://seed.readthedocs.org/" rel="nofollow">http://seed.readthedocs.org/</a>) when Python support comes along.<p>My Gemfury username is 'adamcharnock'.

"Your RubyGems are protected during deployment by a secret token that's part of your Gemfury Source URL" Are URLs secrets now?

If one needs to use Maven, what advantages does Gemfury offer over a self-hosted repository manager, such as Artifactory?
