The problem it solves

Keeping up with releases from the repos you depend on, plus commits from your team and what's trending, means checking GitHub in several places. It's easy to miss an important update when you're not actively looking.

Who it fits

Developers, engineering managers, or teams that track specific repositories and want a single weekly summary.

How it works

  1. Every Monday morning, the digest process starts automatically
  2. It checks the latest release for each repo you're watching
  3. It pulls recent commits or activity from the people and repos you track
  4. It gathers that day's trending repositories
  5. Everything is combined into one email and sent to you through Gmail
What you get

Release and commit updates already in your inbox

You get every release, commit, and trending repo you follow bundled into one email waiting for you Monday morning.

What you get

A single weekly email with three sections covering releases, commits, and trending repos.

What you need

A GitHub account and a Gmail account.

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.
