LiveJournal Source Code Archive

[mart]

The official LiveJournal source repository at code.livejournal.org has been closed to those who don't work for LiveJournal since early 2014.

As a way of preserving (part of) the history of LiveJournal for posterity, I've created an archive repository, converted from Subversion to git so it's more usable with modern tools, that reflects every change

I found it useful today, so thank you! I'm trying to diagnose a bug introduced into A Sturdy Gesture sometime in late 2014, so getting to look at the code from a few months before the bug was added helped enormously.

Boy, does that ever bring back memories! I had no idea that was a thing I wanted, but it's kind of fun to look back through the history a bit.

It kind of makes me sad that I sucked at socializing (still do, honestly) and failed to maintain contact with anybody, because there were some amazing people (mart and burr86 among them) contributing to LJ during the years I follwed development, and I learned tons from the lot of you.

I have a git repo of ljcom that I made in 2011, and the last update on it was back in 2009, SVN rev http://code.livejournal.org/svn/ljcom/trunk@6986.

Assuming there were no later changes, do you want it to put up as well? I think I've got all of the other public LJ repos from around then too, back from when I had SVN commit rights to MogileFS & memcached.

ljcom never was open source, so that's probably skirting trouble.
