Re: Show HN: Endoflife.date – Site with EOL dates of everything
#2I recently did a rant on twitter[0] on how release/download pages of various languages/tools get it wrong, especially with respect to giving EoL Dates/policy and a list of supported releases.
This is my attempt at solving the problem. If you have to every check the EoL date of anything, or if you have to verify that the version you have is supported, just visit endoflife.date/toolname.
The website runs on Netlify, and is built with Jekyll. All the data is stored as Front Matter in Jekyll itself. Contributions are welcome on GitHub to add more languages/tools etc.

This looks pretty useful to me. It would be cool if it were possible to sign up for an account which would let you created "projects" which consist of a list of the tools that you are using for a given project. Extra cool if you could input the version you are currently using, and get it to alert you if you are getting close to EOL.

I plan to add support for calendars that you can subscribe to. So you'll get notified 1, 3, 6 months in advance of approaching doom.

#5Suggestion: Relative dates are nice ("1 year and 7 months"), but I'd have an easier time reading it with absolute dates as well ("2019-12-34").

iCal shares (or however they are calling that format which can be consumed by multiple clients) would be super useful.

You get the abs date if you hover (it's set as the title attr)

#8I repeatedly google this stuff en mass and thought a community-managed website would be a really great so thank you for saving me loads of effort! I'll be PR-ing a bunch of stuff to help out ;)
It may be worth adding a per-version EOL cell, and potential caveats. Windows operating systems, for example, can receive paid support if you happen to have a billion dollars laying around.
Edit: By per-version EOL cell, I mean to allow URL references on a per-version basis for websites that don't list them all on one page, or at all. While there a date-released may also be super useful in some situations when you're trying to figure out how long since it's been patched.

.ICS files. That is what I was going for.

It'd still be nice to not have this tied to hover, relative dates are more useful to get a gist of how long you've got - those absolute dates are usually what you need to sell it to management.
