Source Code

Sockso uses loads of brilliant source code and free libraries that you can find linked to on the right of the page. Without lots of other peoples hard work this project would have been too much, but with the freedom of the open source community, and the help of others, we can make great things!

I'm using Github for source control with Sockso. You can get a copy of sockso using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/rodnaph/sockso.git

I push my latest changes here pretty often so it should be up to date with the latest development.

Website Code

The source code for the website is also available online here:

http://github.com/rodnaph/sockso-website

This is part of a larger framework, but is provided as open source because Sockso does 'call home' for a few things like checking your external IP address, and finding the latest version. So having the code open shows at least it's not doing anything naughty! :D
