Do you use Freshcode.club at all?


This is a project tracking/announcement site that resembles the former Freshmeat:

http://freshcode.club/

It hasn't had a HN mention in six years:

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=freshcode&sort=byDate&type=story

Do you visit this site as a project consumer, looking for updates to existing project or new projects?

Do you have projects whose releases you announce there?

I used to faithfully announce projects on Freshmeat and when FM folded and Freshcode.club appeared, I moved moved there.

I announced some 160 releases of TXR: on Freshcode.club:

http://freshcode.club/projects/txr

Is that a waste of time? The site shows its own stats, indicating around 5000 visitors per week. I remember that for the longest time that didn't work; it was pegged at zero.

Funny, I just recently found out that there's a replacement for freshmeat, which I visited daily (or more, when bored) in ancient days gone by. So right now it's in my rotation again and I have discovered some interesting new applications apart from the regular old staples there already.

Hope it would get more posts there, it's definitely better than watching those horrible "awesome" github lists or hoping for the rare sprinkle of fairy dust in sub-reddits.

Your question probably just raised / (re)woke up HN's awareness of this site at all. I'd forgotten completely about this. Time moved on.

Thanks for the refresh!
