This looks very cool! I don't have an immediate need for it, but I've definitely wanted something like this in the past. I'll keep it around for sure in case I need it again. Good work!

Definitely Github, Bitbucket or something similar. Easy to use for everyone. And if someone found a bug or anything, then submitting patch is easy as hell.

^ These are words of wisdom. Sourceforge is very inaccessible in comparison. It's so bad that I'd actually encourage you to move it to github, if you want to keep working on it.

Having never hosted anything before this on either, I really didn't know.  That said why is SourceForge so difficult to use?  Seemed pretty straightforward for me to set up and host the files.  It has a small forums, a Wiki if it ever became necessary.  I don't really need much else do I?

It's mostly a matter of interactivity. On github other users can fork, change and comment on the code interactively.

If I find a bug in your code, I can create an issue and create a link that points to the exact place in the code. If I feel like helping out, I can create a fork of the code, make the changes and send a pull request to you. You can then look at my pull request, and if you like it you can integrate it into the main branch. If you don't like it, I can keep my fork so that others may make use of it if they see fit. If you later abandon the project, someone else can easily create a fork and continue working on it or you can add them as a new manager of the project. Et cetera, et cetera.

It's the difference between supplying a library-blob and giving others interactive access to the code.

And all that with just a few clicks

Sounds very interesting, I can see how forking would be useful.  In the future I will keep that in mind.  This library is pretty small/simple, so I'll leave it here for now though.
