With my time in the US limited and the prospect of having sporadic internet access for the next 2 years becoming a reality, I wanted to ensure my project had a resting place in these forums.
What is Android Harpoon? It's a project repository, aka a mirror, for developer projects and utilities. When I first joined xda I noticed a lot of folks who would request an obscure file and someone else would have to dig through their archives and upload it to mediafire or something. So using my preexisting web server for my now defunct company (pcharpoon), I began to upload various files for people and provide links. Very soon thereafter goo.im crashed and lost many roms and other projects that developers had uploaded. Realizing I had many of the files on hand, I went to work designing a basic interface so they could have a static link on the internet again. I also began contacting devs and requesting to add their work to help build the site. Fast forward 6 months and I finally feel the site is rounded enough to publish here.
A big shoutout to CS, Evan, Rush, and Tazz.. they were extremely helpful in the early stages and to all the other devs that have signed on since
I will continue to update up until my departure in early June. After that the site will go cold but the servers will remain active until I get back in August of 2015.
And now for some statistics (will be updated monthly):
The following statistics represent January 1, 2013 - March 15, 2013
- The site has received 1,836 unique visitors, encompassing 28,027 hits and using 791.07 GBs of bandwidth.
- Monday is the most active day averaging 80 pages views and 19GBs of bandwidth. Wednesday saw the least traffic with only an average of 45 pages and 5.03 GBs transfer.
- The Incredible 2 has wide international adoption. Here is a list of the top countries accessing the site:
- Here are the top 10 downloads for 2013:
- OS breakdown:
- Browser breakdown:
As always, salutations and regards my brethren :beer:
