Hello HN! I recently began working as a comaintainer of the Athens Project which is a Go module proxy. We've been working on getting in new features, fixes, and updating the project from its roots six years ago.
We could certainly use more developers, especially for some of the more complex enterprise-grade features. However, if you're a current or prospective user we'd also love your feedback and comments on how Athens does or could fit your use case.
Athens provides a server for Go Modules that you can run. It serves public code and your private code for you, so you don’t have to pull directly from a version control system (VCS) like GitHub or GitLab.
This is a useful tool, This should be RIGHT AT THE TOP of the GitHub readme.
Its go, binary installs are a big selling point. Make this a priority. I want to build myself, containerize it myself (or vm' it or have it run locally...).
Bookmarked for when I have free time cause this looks like a useful project!
