There is source code browsing support.  You can get a list of all the
Storm branches at:

    https://code.launchpad.net/storm

There is currently only one branch registered there, but will be more
in future.  Clicking on a branch name takes you to the branch
information page, where you can see a summary of the recent changes
and optionally subscribe to it (which allows you to get email
notification of changes):

    https://code.launchpad.net/~storm/storm/trunk

There is also a "Browse code" link in the actions menu of that page:

    http://codebrowse.launchpad.net/~storm/storm/trunk

Here you can browse all the revisions, or browse the files in any
revision.  The same features are provided for any branch you upload to
Launchpad.
