I was after something that looked a bit more interesting and inviting than the standard Fandoc pages of Status302. Something that bound and linked together all the relevant parts of the library; be they on BitBucket, Status302, or a blog site. I also wanted the pages to be auto-generated from the pods themselves. (Less work for me!)
If there's interest, I could open it up as a community site - maybe hook it into the Status302 repository somehow. Though I'm not sure how useful it would be.
Oh, and yes, I eat my own dog food! The site runs on BedSheet, Pillow and Slim.

I like the look and feel. One way I was thinking about for multiple repos was to have a CacheRepo that just provided a sync'ed cache from other repo (haven't built it though). But something like that would allow you just cache all the pods from status302 too

Yeah I like that format - would be great to auto "mirror" everything on Status302 there.

In theory you can just use fanr query to find all the pods in here (status302). I could add an api to get the extra meta if that's useful.

Hi tcolar,
Good idea. I was thinking myself of something like a daily fanr sync. I guess the only extra information / meta not available via fanr / pods is the no. of downloads.
Though I would hold fire on an API for now... because I'm probably not going to get round to it for a while. :(
Still, if anyone has any ideas on how the site could be more useful, I'm open to suggestion!

I wanted some pretty looking home pages for the main Alien-Factory libraries and came up with:
http://www.fantomfactory.org/
It currently lists:
