I know I really enjoy homebrew when it's done right and have recently tried my hand at it. From making a archetype, all the way to attempting to make a class. I'm making this list to help people, including myself, find help for balancing, ideas and even RP needs for their homebrew ideas.
I will be adding any homebrew content people post on this thread, or if I see something in another thread. Ranging from entire classes to even spells, weapons etc...
I will eventually put a brief description below all the entrys, feel free to link your thread and I will add it to the lists.

There's also, as I said on the topic where you previously posted about this, that there is already an extensive homebrew repository run by Kalani.
I've got a homebrew version of Aarakocra in my sig.

No problem; didn't mean to sound upset – I just hope that some day we can have a grand list of ALL homebrew, at least the stuff people want linked to on the WotC forums. Having to go to separate places for separate lists is inefficient.

Some race writeups we're using.

Vryloka

Natives of Darkness: Shadar-kai draw strength from the shadows, and can become one with them at need. You can cast Misty Step once without components, and regain it after a short rest.

You regain this ability after a long rest.
Still working on a Centaur, Satyr, and a few others.

I've been trying to get people to check these out for a while now, but no one ever does. If you'd be so kind, could you put these on your list? The first is my idea for a Warforged 5e import that keeps a lot closer to its 3.5 iteration. The second is the Warforged Juggernaut Prestige Class made into a Fighter Archetype for 5e. I've got a few other pieces of Homebrew as well, if you're interested.

Here's one I made as a Collaboration. (Archetype of the Bullwark)

Here's my attempt at updating Tower Shields into 5e.

I tried to work around the Grappler Feat since it's broken and needs eratta. (Wrestler Feat)

Special magic item idea. I've been slowly modifying it over time. (Cantrip Wands)
http://community.wizards.com/content/blog/4201381
And this last one is a racial feat for my Warforged design. (Jaws of Death)
http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?448530-Dvati
This one is my attempt at bringing the Dvati Race into 5e.
new additions.
Working on converting the Shadowknight from Everquest into a 5E class.

I'll be posting my assassin base class soon, once I fix up the formatting and write up some fluff for it. Also gonna be adding two monk traditions, and possibly a reworked warlock that doesn't try to encompass the binder and hexblade.
Also, I just started brainstorming a summoner class that mixes elements of the various summoning subclasses, the summoner video game, and the 4e shaman's mechanical concepts. Gonna work the binder and possibly sha'ir into that class.
Might work on a swordmage base class with hexblade and bladesinger subclasses.
If anyone has seen any really good versions of any of those already, I'd love to know about it. There are too many homebrew items floating around to browse through them all for ideas.
Bladedancer
Ranger Archetype - The very essence of Nature's fury, lightning is a powerful force that is as destructive as it is beautiful. The Bladedancer infuses his swords with electric energy to become equally dynamic.
Level 3: Arc Blade - Starting when you first choose this Archetype, you gain the Arc Blade ability. Once per long rest, you may infuse your melee weapons with the essence of lightning. Your attacks have advantage against enemies wearing metal armor or who are made of metal, and deal an additional 1d6 Electricity damage if you are dueling (using a single 1-handed weapon, and nothing in your offhand) and 1d4 extra Electricity damage per attack if you are dual wielding (using a Light weapon in each hand.) Additionally, you gain one extra attack per round as part of your basic attack action.
This ability has no effect on ranged weapons, two-handed weapons, or when wielding anything other than a Light weapon in the offhand.
Arc Blade lasts a number of rounds equal to your 1 + your Wisdom modifier.
7th: At level 7, Arc Blade's duration is increased to 2 + Wisdom modifier rounds.
Additionally, choose one of the following abilities;
Discharge - (While Arc Blade is active) As a bonus action, you discharge the lightning in your blade in a destructive wave of energy. This prematurely ends the Arc Blade effect, and deals 1d6 lightning damage per round left on Arc Blade's duration in a 10 ft radius centered on you.
Thunderpike - While Arc Blade is active, as a bonus action, you can cast forth the electricity from your blade in a 20 ft straight line, ending the ability prematurely. Deals 1d6 lightning damage per round remaining on Arc Blade.
Arc Form - While Arc Blade is active, you may draw the electric energy into yourself as a bonus action. Upon doing so, you become invisible for 2 rounds and cannot be detected by any means except for by magic. Your speed is increased by 10 feet. Attacking an enemy while in this invisible state has advantage on all attack
rolls and will deal +10 electric damage, but damaging an enemy removes the invisibility.
11th: At level 11, choose one of the following upgrades to your Arc Blade;
Thunderward - While Arc Blade is active, your AC is increased by +2, and you have 10 temporary hit points. Lost temporary hit points regenerate by 2 per round, and you regenerate 3 lost temporary hit points when you kill an enemy.
Hungering Blade - While Arc Blade is active, scoring a critical hit heals you for 2d6, and killing an enemy heals you for 2d8.
Energy Drain - While Arc Blade is active, you sap the power from the world around you. You deal +2 damage to constructs, critical hits prevent the target from casting spells for 2 rounds, and killing an enemy extends the duration of Arc Blade by 1 round.
15th: Arc Master - At level 15, you have mastered the union of lightning and blade, using both magical and physical prowess in perfect harmony. The duration of Arc Blade is increased to 3 + Wisdom modifier rounds, dueling bonus damage is increased to 1d8, and dual wielding bonus damage is increased to 1d6. Additionally, choose one of the following feats;
Elemental Adept (lightning)
or
Mage Slayer.
