I just wanted to take a moment and mention how thankful I am for project hosting. I have Dead End’s source privately hosted on Unfuddle. This allows me to use tickets to track work needing to be done and more importantly, they have all of the source code in a Subversion repository.
I didn’t find out how glad I was to be using Unfuddle until my hard drive crashed and I lost everything on it. Since I’m developing Dead End by myself I really don’t have a need for source control other than it helps me stay organized. I could just as easily stored the project locally but then it would all be gone.
If you’re starting out a solo project and storing it locally, either make frequent backups or consider using a project hosting service like Unfuddle. It’s free for the first project so there’s nothing to lose.
