Did you know the Opencaching network has a 20-year history of shared, open-source code? 🤯

Two main branches of our code exist today: one from Opencaching-PL and one from Opencaching-DE (Opencaching.pl actually branched off two decades ago). What site runs on which code? Check out the diagram!

No matter the code branch, all our sister-sites work together thanks to OKAPI! This project connects the entire Opencaching network, allowing anyone to build an app to access geocaches across all participating sites through one API 🔗

In a way, our network is a decentralized, interconnected platform, just like the Fediverse!

Have you ever found a cache from one of our sister-sites? Tell us about it in the comments! 👇

@benelux @geocaching Im still curious what the reason behindert the fork is. Did not find that yet.
@Tungmar @harrieklomp might be able to tell you that! There are a little bit more details here: https://wiki.opencaching.nl/index.php/Historie (in Dutch).
