@aleabdo oh, Software Heritage is very cool, I knew it existed but I hadn't realized my stuff was there already!
I guess the nice thing about Zenodo is you get more control of the metadata and the DOI thing might be useful for citations.

@Alexandre B A Villares 🐍 With Software Heritage you get a SWHID, which is better than a DOI to cite software because it is verifiable and decentralized. It is an actual hash of the code. Indeed, code should preferably be cited via SWHID, not DOIs. This is explained here: #^https://www.softwareheritage.org/save-reference-research-software/
