Why?

Some ideal criteria for a site hosting homebrew cheat and secret code data could be:

A site where the content is ok/encouraged to be copied and used elsewhere, not run or owned by an entity that might exert restrictions or copyright over content
Having the data in a form that is easy to export and use elsewhere
Having a low barrier to entry such that homebrew games even with a very small audience or player based wouldn't get rejected as not meriting inclusion
Preferably filterable to homebrew/indie only

Having not found other sites which meet that criteria, this is an experiment to do so.
