The problem it solves

You want to know when people show interest in your project on GitHub, but checking manually means remembering to look. Star activity is easy to miss if you're not watching.

Who it fits

Open-source maintainers or dev teams who want visibility into GitHub repo activity.

How it works

  1. Someone stars or unstars your GitHub repository
  2. The system checks whether it was a star added or removed
  3. A notification is posted to your Slack channel
What you get

Star activity you see the instant it happens

You get an instant Slack alert every time someone stars or unstars your GitHub repository, keeping your team in the loop automatically.

What you get

A Slack message letting your team know about repository star activity.

What you need

A GitHub account and a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
