Ask HN: Designers, please open up the library of stuff you've collected

[tejaswiy]

UX Designers, as a programmer trying to get better at this, I've realized designers generally try to collect various good pieces of design that they encounter and save them for inspiration. How about making it open for the community instead?

Someone please start a blog like http://littlebigdetails.com/ and put up UI elements too, not just interactions.

EDIT: A little more googling lead me to this (pdf): http://eightshapesunify.s3.amazonaws.com/CreatingAUXDesignLibrary.Final.pdf

Two of the best collections of UI / UX patterns I know of:

Chris Messina (factoryjoe on Flickr): http://www.flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/collections/72157600...

Zach Klein on Evernote: http://www.evernote.com/pub/zachklein/generaluiux
