biicode vs Conan: What are the differences?
biicode: C/C++ dependencies manager with a hosting service. For C/C++ developers that think a dependency manager is needed, biicode is a multiplatform tool and hosting service that allows you to build your projects easily, integrate third party code and reuse code among projects with just #includes; Conan: C/C++ package manager. Install or build your own packages for any platform. Conan also allows you to run your own server easily from the command line.
