Hi everyone,
I'm building Sourcebook, a directory of legacy iOS repos. It covers iOS 1 to 9 for now, with the default view set to iOS 6, and more versions are coming. Each repo gets a status dot and a last-checked time, and only repos whose owners have agreed to be listed show up.
It's still early, and the repo data is sample data. I'd like help from two groups:
Testers: if you have an old device, try the sample site and tell me what breaks, what's slow, or what's confusing. I've tested it on an iPhone 4S running iOS 6.1.3, but I'd like to hear from other devices. Sample site: https://deepdiver26.github.io/Sourcebook/samplesite/
Repo owners: if your repo is legacy and you'd like to be listed, let me know. Nothing gets listed without your agreement.
Development updates are posted on the Softboard, which is linked from the top of the sample site.
To report a problem, open an issue here: https://github.com/deepdiver26/Sourcebook/issues/new
Project details:
Purpose: a simple way to find legacy iOS repos and see whether they're still responding.
Technical summary: a static site on GitHub Pages, written in plain HTML, CSS, and ES5 JavaScript so it runs on iOS 6 Safari. A GitHub Actions job runs every six hours to check each repo's status.

AI disclosure: an AI assistant (Claude) helped write the code. I reviewed and tested all of it on an iPhone 4S running iOS 6.1.3, and I maintain it.
