In short, TorrDex is a Semi-Private BitTorrent Indexing Community. It is licensed under the GNU GPLv3, and hosted on GitHub by its creator Sorcerer Merlin. TorrDex is NOT a main-stream entry-level web application developed by a team of dedicated programmers. It is a hobby-project developed by ONE intermediate-level+™ hobbyist programmer. It is therefore subject to bugs and other issues, which should be reported at the repository Issues page. Any feature requests and the like can also be submitted there as well.
TorrDex is built using HTML5, PHP5, MySQL, JavaScript , and AJAX. Account passwords are encrypted, using the PasswordHash class for PHP developed by Taylor Hornby. BitTorrent processing and support is provided by the PHP_BitTorrent library (in PHAR format) developed by Christer Edvartsen. The entire color scheme and theme for TorrDex is completely dynamic and achieved using CSS and Web Fonts (which MAY allow for additional theming support in the future!). TorrDex also makes use of the Parsedown library for PHP developed by Emanuil Rusev to implement MarkDown support for Torrent Descriptions. TorrDex also uses CAPTCHA-style verification codes, provided by the simple-php-captcha script developed by Cory LaViska. Tracker scraping support is provided by the PHP-Torrent-Scraper library developed by Johannes.
