freshcode.club [1] is open source software release tracking.
It is a web-based service that offers software developers a centralized online location to control and manage free and open-source software projects.
Freshcode.club is a re-implementation of FreshMeat (FreeCode) which shut down in June 2014.
The Freecode site has been moved to a static state effective June 18, 2014 due to low traffic levels
Freshcode.club is intended to become a community-driven website again. It's initially also a lookalike. Yet it's planned to differentiate the feature set and provide different frontends with shared datasets. A few notable design differences are:
Main features
Freshcode.club has the following features:
- No forced user accounts, just OpenID logins.
- All content is licensed under CC-BY-SA to prevent another data loss situation.
- JSON-based database exchange feeds and defining releases.json.
- Automated release updates from VCS systems and project websites.
- No commercial ads, no tracking cookies.
The project name freshcode.club is an amalgamation of freshmeat and freecode. Both domains have been reserved as placeholders for partner projects or varied frontends. With the new .club TLD signalizing a more community-inclusive direction. Distribution package managers made Freshmeat somewhat irrelevant for end users. (The "year of Linux" was 2008, btw, and a large part of our user base are non-programmers nowadays).
