That project, however, seems to have been lost (and archived) in the Microsoft reshuffling of things.&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&amp;#x2F;item?id=16525735&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&amp;#x2F;item?id=16525735&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[2] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;atom-archive&amp;#x2F;xray&amp;#x2F;tree&amp;#x2F;master&amp;#x2F;memo_core&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;atom-archive&amp;#x2F;xray&amp;#x2F;tree&amp;#x2F;master&amp;#x2F;memo_core&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

I also bet there are a load of features that I&amp;amp;you have never heard of, but someone is using them.&lt;p&gt;And, not only adding features is doing something; improving reliability or just maintaining the site, monitoring is also work...&lt;p&gt;So dismissing pre-MS GitHub might not be really appropriate.&lt;p&gt;[0] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;hub.github.com&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;hub.github.com&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
