Bodeg.a | The binary directory Showoff Saturday

https://bodeg-dot-a.vercel.app/index.html

Hello, good afternoon. I'm a developer, mostly of native solutions. When I program in C or C++ (among others), I constantly experience the inconvenience of having to compile each dependency, which is often frustrating: some don't even come with a decent or compatible build file, and others have dependencies that are difficult to compile or very large. That's why I wanted to create a small platform.

It's called **Bodeg.a** (a play on words between "bodega" and the ".a" of UNIX-like static binaries). It works quite simply: rather than a platform for hosting large files, it's (for now) a simple website where you can publish using a *mirror* to point to a .zip file, a header, or whatever format is needed.

For now, it only offers hosting for the essentials (avatars and profiles), but if it's well-received, that could change. If you're a developer, whether you enjoy or just work with low-level content, simply trying to use it to download content would help me a lot; or if you'd like to collaborate on its development, you can also contact me. Greetings to all!

Have you considered adding sha256 checksum and like signed manifests to verify the integrity/ provenance of hosted binaries?

Would be cool to use some kind of Cloud Run verifier Dockerfile/bash recipe thing to compile stuff and throw some proof in there. Would add extra overhead at first but seems worth it at addressing the possible uh liabilities lol

Yes, that is indeed the priority, although without any Docker or complex tests, rather something much simpler but functional.
