Show HN: isitendoflife.com - simple EOL visibility

Hey folks, I'm the maintainer of Metaport (https://gitlab.com/dcentrica/metaport/metaport-server) but in appealing to users to try it out, I felt a super-simple demonstrator was needed, so that development agencies, studios, and maintainers could quickly understand which versions of their technologies are (or soon will be) end-of-life.

So I built isitendoflife.com, try it by tacking-on a technology and/or a version to the domain to the EOL status of that technology e.g.

* https://isitendoflife.com/python * https://isitendoflife.com/php/8.1 * https://isitendoflife.com/dotnet/8

The list of services makes it look like you’re using endoflife.date as the data source, which I kept under MIT, and requires attribution. We’re happy to support every usecase, but please provide attribution :)

(Bitcoin-core stands out very much).

Edit: their backend service source does mention endoflife.date as the source, but it is hidden away in the developer docs (https://gitlab.com/dcentrica/metaport/metaport-server/-/blob...)

> By default, Metaport uses the API provided by endoflife.date, but alternative backends can be used instead. The following instructions are relevant to Metaport CE in self-managed setups.

If you're building a complete SaaS product on top of an open-source database maintained by volunteers, please credit them better, or support us: https://github.com/sponsors/endoflife-date

Thank you for this. A recurring contribution has now been setup the credits will be improved. There isn't yet a SaaS until the product is validated, until then, Metaport is on-prem only through the OSS community edition where dev.md is built into the docs site as well: https://docs.metaport.sh/en/dev/.

Thanks a lot, I've added Metaport to our list of known users: https://github.com/endoflife-date/endoflife.date/wiki/Known-...

Thank you - but it's already in the list! It was added several months ago:-)

I’m a fan of your tool. You might want to feature it on NextGen Tools: https://nxgntools.com

Any feedback would be appreciated.
