Was it still useful? (Score: 1) by kwerle@pipedot.org on 2014-06-19 19:00 (#26D) 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? Re: Was it still useful? (Score: 0) by Anonymous Coward on 2014-06-21 01:30 (#27E) 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?
