I used to use freshmeat a bit. I guess back in the .. 90's? But searching improvements (google, etc) and distribution packaging improved immensly in the past 15-20 years.

Sad to see it go - but just for nostalgia reasons.

Is there anyone around here that'll actually miss it, functionally?

Yeah but freshmeat was both usable and useful. When they went web2, rewrote it in ruby and rebranded as freecode... what the hell was that about?

Freecode is a pointless site that nobody will miss. There probably still is a place for something like freshmeat... Bryan?
