This is a super useful resource for anyone writing libraries that need to be compatible with a range of "all currently-supported versions" of something. I use it all the time.

I’m not sure what I’m supposed to see, but all there is is a pitch for an end of life app and a link to GitHub and other supporting sites that talk about a project vaguely but don’t provide any content or examples.

Is there an issue with a data store or does the site not work in Safari (iOS)?

Same for me, using Firefox on Android. The navigation is not visible. Quick workaround: Enable desktop mode in your browser.

It's cool; honestly, I didn't know Python 3.6 support ended two months ago while I was still using it.

The bricks my house is made of are now 119 years old. They haven't received any updates or substantial maintenance. The guy who made them is dead. His company is gone.

Yet they are still functional and secure. They still work with the latest screws. If I had to switch out my bricks every 5 years, I don't think I'd have any time or money left for the rest of life.

Can we make software that's a little more like my bricks?

The mobile version of this is unusable on Firefox for Android.

That name. I clicked thinking it was about people in a hospice dating. Glad it's nothing so morbid.

At least in Firefox (Android) if you tap in the top right corner (there is nothing visible there, but just tap in the very corner) a list of projects appears.
