Reepo · the open workshop of Flaptown Advancements

Software belongs in everyone's hands.

Every Flaptown program keeps its source here, out in the open. Read how it works, take it home, or make your own edition. No command line required, and nothing hidden from people who want one.

New to all this? Six words, in plain English

Source — the recipe

Programs are written as ordinary text files, in languages made for describing steps precisely. A browser or a phone reads that text and follows it. The source is that text. Reading it is like reading a recipe: you don't need to cook to follow along.

Project (people say repo) — the folder

All the files that make one program, kept together, with their history. "Repo" is short for repository, which is just a fancy word for a place where things are kept.

Version (people say commit) — a saved moment

Each time the maker saves, the whole project is kept exactly as it was, with a note saying what changed. You can open any old version and read it. Nothing gets quietly rewritten.

License — the rules for sharing

A short legal promise about what you're allowed to do with the code. Everything here uses an open-source license, which means you may read it, use it and change it. Some ask you to share your changes the same way.

Edition (people say fork) — your own copy

Make your own edition and you get a private copy you can change freely. The original isn't touched. If you make something better, you can suggest your changes back to the maker.

Fingerprint (people say hash) — proof it's the same

A long string of letters and numbers worked out from the files themselves. Change a single letter anywhere and the fingerprint changes completely. If two fingerprints match, the files are the same.

Start a tour from any project with a Tour tab. They're short, and every stop shows the real code next to an explanation.

What we promise

  • Your code stays under the license you choose. We don't relicense it or sell it.
  • No ads, no tracking pixels, no third-party scripts on this page. Its Content-Security-Policy allows only this site and the account service.
  • Versions are append-only. Nothing is force-pushed; history isn't rewritten.
  • Private stays private until you publish. Unpublishing stops future reads.
  • Everything is downloadable, and your account can be exported or deleted.

What we don't do yet

  • No git transport: no git clone or git push. Download the zip; we'd rather say so than pretend.
  • No CI or builds run here. Text files only (no binaries), up to 256 files and 2 MiB per version.

project, source & release notes →

Browser workspace

Open the editor without installing anything. Image export and editable project files stay available without an account.

Start drawing →

Release status lists what has actually been built and tested. A source package is not an installer.

Start a project

It starts private. Give it a name and a small first purpose.

Only add work you have permission to share. Preserve existing licenses when making an edition.

Leave an idea or report a problem

Visible to everyone who can view this project. Keep personal information out.

Suggest your saved changes

This shares a frozen copy of every file in your current saved edition with the original owner. Review your files for private information first. Later edits will not change this suggestion. If accepted, the receiving project keeps this version even if you delete your edition or account.
