Where to Browse Public Projects on 0xacab

Updated

The public project list on 0xacab lives at https://0xacab.org/explore. That single page is the intended way to see what other people are hosting before you sign up or request hosting for your own project.

What the explore page is for

0xacab describes itself as "code hosting for friendly people." The explore page is the discovery surface for that hosting: instead of guessing at repository URLs, you start from the list and browse outward. It is the answer the site itself gives to the question "Is there a list of public projects?" — yes, check https://0xacab.org/explore.

Use it when you want to:

  • See what kinds of projects are already hosted before registering.
  • Find a project by browsing rather than searching a specific name.
  • Get a sense of whether the platform fits your project's community or scope.

How to get there

  1. Open a browser and go to https://0xacab.org/explore.
  2. Browse the listed projects. Each entry links to that project's page on 0xacab.
  3. Open a project to view its repository, activity, and files.

Expected result: you land on a browsable index of public projects and can click through to any of them. No account is required to view the list itself, since it is a public page.

If you prefer not to use the clearnet address, the site also publishes an onion service: http://wmj5kiic7b6kjplpbvwadnht2nh2qnkbnqtcv3dyvpqtz7ssbssftxid.onion. The same explore path applies there.

Before you register: the one-repo limit

A detail worth knowing if browsing turns into wanting your own space: new users on 0xacab are allowed to create or fork only one repository. The site states this is deliberate, to stop spammers and uncontrolled growth. If you need more than one, you have to contact the collective or file a support ticket.

So if you are evaluating the platform from the explore page, plan for a single repo as a new user, and treat additional repos as something you request rather than something you get by default.

Getting help or requesting hosting

  • Support tickets go to the project's issue tracker, not to a general inbox.
  • Contact: the collective can be reached by email at collective at riseup.net, or on IRC at #riseup on irc.indymedia.org.
  • Have a project that needs hosting? The site's own answer is "Let's talk!" — reach out through the contacts above.
