objclibs shows a list of what sorts of things are available. That is huge for engaging me in your service. The author should have his color tag removed.
I go to cocoapods and it seems to be some sort of meta-framework. I'm already suspicious of frameworks, if you want to talk meta-framework you had better have brought cake.
There is a "browse" link, but it is all about the meta-framework, that isn't helping me.
So then I try to see what sort of frameworks this dubious meta-framework can bring me, and I can't find any sort of listing. The best I managed was to search for the letter "e" in descriptions, figuring most of them should have one.
What's the point of Cocoapods instead of just using a submodule? Git already has a native way to handle subprojects, and adding an extra external dependency and gitignoring the results (I guess) feels dirty.
Dirty is prepending every class with two letters and having 10 copies of the same json parsing library in your executable. The entire ios library system is broken. These types of things will keep popping up until something figures it out well enough for mass adoption
it should help people find a suitable framework a lot faster and easier. also, i hope that it will encourage aspiring Objective-C developers to use more open source frameworks.
