Show HN: Steerway - Share Tips and Libraries for Android Development

Couple questions:
1) What differentiates steerway from http://android.stackexchange.com/?
2) Why is /collections included in the nav if it's NYI?

Stack Overflow is Q&A. Most people go there to find a solution to a specific problem.
What I'm trying to achieve is to discover tips/tricks for Android development. I want to present it in a way that it's easy to consume. I spend at least an hour a day on Stack Overflow looking for things that might be useful for me but the Q&A format makes it harder to discover.
Collections is still in development. It's a way for people to curate tips.

Regarding (1), that site is specifically for Android users, not developers. You'd be better of comparing it to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/android
A natural(and good lookin) place to share tips is to write a Coderwall protip:
http://coderwall.com/n/android
http://coderwall.com/n/android
I notice that some of the tips have code examples and some don't. I know that people other than the author of the tip can post comments, but it may be useful if they could also post gists along with the comment. This way tips without examples could be fleshed out by someone other than the author.
I do like the site and I plan to use it!

Yeah. I'll work on putting more details on the tips.
This is a great idea. I'm an Android developer and every now and then I think "I must be doing this wrong somehow". A list like that helps building a mental database of best practices, good job!
Really good idea. Thank you for doing this.
when are you going to open the Django section?
nice work.
I'm an independent developer and learned Android on my own. I can get most things done but I'm not sure if it's the best way to do things.
There has also been a lot of libraries for Android lately and it's hard to decide which ones to use. I've been interviewing developers at startups and asking for the libraries they use. You can find Pinterest's libraries at http://android.steerway.com/app/pinterest/.
I also feel the same way for Django development so I should be opening the Django section soon.
Feedback is always appreciated.
