Products that do what Manpages.debian.org has been modernized does

I felt that publically available manpage repositories were lacking in one aspect or another (incomplete, hard to navigate, only offering plain text), so I set out to improve an existing one: the Debian manpage web repository. Check out e.g. https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/cron/crontab.5.en.html for an interesting entry point, showcasing a couple of features. For the full launch announcement, see https://people.debian.org/~stapelberg/2017/01/18/manpages-debian-org.html Hope this is useful to some of you!

    We built this as a bit of fun but it's been getting some great responses on Twitter

    I've always dreamed about a project like that when looking at status boards at other companies. We finally had the time to do our own. Here are some photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/robert_olejnik/sets/72157633736087905/ The stack: Django, mustache.js, Chart.js, Bootstrap and custom Supybot plugin. Maybe will be inspiration for someone else ;-) Do you guys have similar status boards? Cheers, Robert.

    URL: http://reallygood404.com/ I wanted to put together a showcase of some great 404 pages since there seem to be a lot of hidden gems. Would love feedback and other 404 pages that I haven't seen/found yet if people are willing to share.

    Hey HN, this is a side-project I've been working on for my senior year independent work in CS. Would appreciate any comments or feedback. www.aperator.com Thanks!

    I am very new to this. I have tried to follow to follow your guidelines, but I'm not sure if I have got it right. The URL point to release notes which give a brief overview of the project including its history. As production code, this is still early stage - but I think it works well enough to be useful to people other than myself.

    I have finally convinced my son to take a step forward to publish something in public domain. As he is learning Python these days, he made a scraper to download Cambridge past papers (GCSE / IGCSE). If you like it, encourage the kid by pressing the Star button :) https://github.com/UsamaKashif/CambridgePastPapersDownloader

    GitHub repo: https://github.com/AntiKippi/errorpages Live preview: https://kippi.at/public/errorpages/ I've spend the last few days overengineering HTTP status code error pages. It started with me wanting an aesthetic, glitchy 404 page with a bit of "cyberpunk" and "hacker" vibes while still being simple and JS free. It ended in this project. wdyt?

    I tried to basically copy-paste the html from Archive.org and grabbed the posts from here: https://gitlab.com/dwrodri/bash_irc_quotes It's missing a few of the more recent posts which I'll try grab myself sometime. But all the classics should be there.

    Http://narly.us Just saw 'repos.io' on the front page. Narly.us is solving a similar problem so thought I'd share it here. What do you think? Useful or not? Features I need? The main difference is Narly.us is trying to be a public place for the community to organize and qualify projects via tagging while repos.io seems to be more account based (organize your personal repos)
