## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 10/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:20:16.233290+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 5555, "days_push": 2056, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases, archived
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## Adoption (not part of the score)
Stars 1099, forks 261 (observed 2026-08-28T04:03:35.023750+00:00)

## What it is
gddo is the source code for godoc.org, the original Go package documentation and search website. It was archived in 2021 and godoc.org now redirects to pkg.go.dev, its official successor.

## Use cases
- browse documentation for Go packages online
- search Go packages by name or symbol
- self-host a Go package documentation site
- understand how godoc.org worked internally
- find documentation for a Go library's API

## When to choose
- you need to study or fork the original godoc.org codebase
- you want a historical reference for Go documentation tooling
- you are maintaining a legacy deployment of gddo

## When to avoid
- you want current Go package documentation - use pkg.go.dev instead
- you need a maintained documentation server for new projects
- you expect bug fixes or new features - the repo is archived

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: abandoned
- function: documentation, search-engine, http-server
- domain: developer-tools, documentation, programming-languages
- platform: go, self-hosted
- tags: godoc, go-packages, archived, api-documentation, package-registry, web-server
