First off, I'd like to thank tcolar for creating and maintaining the current Fantom Pod Repository over at Status302. It's a great asset that I use extensively and frequently.
And because I use it so much, I thought I'd try my hand at creating a new site with extended features. Development can be previewed here:
It works in much the same way as Repo302, what with registered users being able to upload public and private pods. The extra features are mainly centred around pod documentation:
Pods may have multiple document pages (mine tend to just have User Guide and Release Notes)
Open Graph markup on selected pages for social media sharing.
Atom / RSS Feeds for individual pods
Basic Gravatar integration
Fandoc link validation reporting
Technically it is very different to Repo302; it makes use of Alien-Factory libraries (obviously!) and holds all its data in MongoDB. Like Repo302, the site / repository is also compatible with fanr.
When development has stabilised, the website will be released as a pod itself so anyone can setup their own private repository.
This post is not a fanfare entrance, but rather a heads-up. The handful of pods currently on the site are really just for demonstration and the website styling has been purposely left (for now) as plain vanilla Bootstrap.
In the upcoming weeks I'm hoping to polish the site; write the help pages, re-word the front page, etc... Oh, and upload some moar pods!
I'm looking to produce a functional and good looking repository that will benefit the community, so all ideas, feature requests, and bug reports are welcome. The email address at the bottom of the website is functional should you need it.
Have fun!
Steve.

Hi, just to say that Pod Respository development should now be stable.
I've been using and tweaking the site for the past couple of weeks. I hope you like the changes:

The website itself is now also available as a pod called Eggbox, so you may run and host your own Pod Repoistories!
Eggbox setup is simple:
