Seems like a good opportunity for someone to build a project gateway for discovering projects on Radicle, cross-project code and issue search, etc.

This could also be an indexer that runs locally, although I don’t know how you would find unreplicated peers for indexing. I wonder if they have considered DHT or similar for announcement.

Edit: looks like they ruled out DHT in the context of advertising repositories because they want replication to be opt-in, likely to avoid replicating objectionable material, but I still think it’s a good idea for advertising nodes more generally. The curious could then use the list of nodes for indexing.

I recently had to onboard multiple computer vision datasets each with their own conventions to store camera parameters, depth maps etc. Searching for open source repositories on GitHub that implement data loading for these datasets was extremely helpful. In fact, these days I use code search on GitHub more often than Google search.

Even though I moved some of my personal repos to Codeberg I believe there needs to be a centralised way of searching in open source code.

Wouldn't people discover HardenedBSD via google and then find the link to the code via the website?

I've personally never discovered projects through Github.
