3 more things as I use the site a bit more:

1) If logged in, a link to the Dashboard on all pages would be handy (or at least on the login page when you're already logged in).
2) Verify the Developers list (there are a few in there that don't develop apps at all, nevermind offer an app development service)
3) Prevent "published" date abuse (as far as I can see there's nothing stopping me updating my published date to appear at the top of the list of apps by recency)

Cracking site / service, mind, even with these minor points!

How about some email harvesting protection? Something simple in JavaScript (seen as jQuery is already in use, there are a number of easy ways to use that, which degrade reasonably well without JavaScript).

You're right.. I made some changes to the home page this week to cache the dynamic elements using standard modx script caching, but it doesn't seem to work too well with the particular script I'm using. Turned it off now.

Is it just me or is the random "Made in Ireland Showcase" on the homepage no longer random?

One idea I had before that I mentioned to Darran. A "Random App" button that would do exactly as it says on the tin. Really like the "Surprise Me" sort option on the app listing page - this could be a nice addition to that. Or maybe not!
Just throwing it out there!

Just added:
- Case insensitive URLs
- Added a category to the app listings and changed the default search text to let users know they can search category names.
- Added "..." to the end of shortened titles.
