Erlang open source project index

[Péter Szilágyi]

Hello everyone,

I've been busy implementing a web crawler to collect all kinds of
information about open source Erlang components from various hosting
sites (github, bitbucket, sourceforge and google code), so that it's
easier to search for projects and see all kinds on infos about them.

I've also created a small web interface for the whole thing in
Nitrogen (thus my email), and thought maybe people here would be
interested in hearing about another application of the Nitrogen
Framework. The website part lets people browse through/search the
project index, look up infos about a particular project (or fork of a
particular project) and to see some information about the authors.
Also to be more valuable to the community, all the projects can be
rated based on different criteria (you need to be logged in to rate).

The whole site came live a couple of hours ago, hopefully everything
works fine, but if not, you can always post a bug/error report in the
forums. The site is hosted as part of Trapexit (an/the Erlang
community site). My nitrogen "sub-site" can be accessed at
http://projects.trapexit.org .

Hope you like it! Any and all comments are welcome.

Have a nice day,
Peter

Hi Peter,

I just poked around it this morning. Looks great, and very useful! Well done. :)

Best,

Rusty

Hi Péter,

Love the concept and indeed the results.

My only concern is that it seems to take a while to display the
results, and so consequently a user's desire to use it often would be
impacted (yes, including me). Maybe there's a way of speeding up the
search in your next version?

Great tool nonetheless!

Regards,
Steve

Hi,

  Thanks for the feedback.

  Indeed I am also concerned about the speed and am not satisfied. The problem is that the whole thing is running on an ancient computer, with a whole lot of other stuff, full of bad-bad things with not enough memory :(. On my dev machine everything workes in a blink of an eye, but sadly I didn't have much choice in the deployment place. Maybe if it will prove a useful tool and people will use it then I can convince the guys on top for a better solution. (Actually the whole trapexit warrants a rewrite, but nobody seems to want to do it :)) ).

  Glad to hear that you liked it! :)

Peter

PS: The load actually varies quite a lot... sometimes everything loads instantly, and other times I have to wait 10-15 secs for something to happen... strange beast that server... :))
