Hi Sven, I added spotter search now. I prefixed the github spotter entries additionally with the user name (owner). This way you will be able to quickly find tagged public projects by keying in the project and/or username.
See attached picture for an example. Catalog loading is possible via spotter too. Have fun T. > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 06.
