Hi, I'm Egon...

...well, actually I'm not. My real name is Helge, my "normal" internet name is EgonOlsen, my Facebook name is Blanka Hohn (which is a play on words that only works in german). I'm a software developer and the creator of the MOSpeed BASIC V2.0 cross compiler that supports the X16 as a target platform: https://github.com/EgonOlsen71/basicv2

Welcome Egon! Feel free to upload the compiler to the dev tools category of the software library ??️

I actually thought that Egon, Kjeld and Benny would have had different names in the german-dubbed version of Der Olsenbande

No, they had the same names.

Well, actually uploading it doesn't make much sense, because it's still in active development. I guess that nowadays, quite a lot of the non-trivial projects are hosted on sites like Github and aren't really suitable to be downloaded as a single binary blob from some other site. It might be a good addition to the software library to allow for links to external projects as well.

Unfortunately I can't find a way to do that, but we'll look into it further.

I've been putting GitHub links in the descriptions and just uploading ZIPs of the latest builds. I tried to make it clear in the description that the preferred way to stay up to date was through GitHub, but I do plan on uploading at least every release build.

I think that's a reasonable compromise. I'll also encourage people to tag uploads as #alpha or #beta if they are not finished or partly broken.

Yeah, this should be pretty much like what you would do on your GitHub project's releases tab, a mirror of it, if you will.

Happy to see more people beta testing the site.

I'm a cultural troglodite on the other side of the pond, so the only Egon reference I'm familiar with is accompanied by Ray Stanz and Peter Venkman.

Ooh, and we can embed Youtube videos in comments. Snazzy.
