The problem it solves

You're busy shipping, so you don't have time to keep refreshing your GitHub repo to see if you've hit a new star milestone. Meanwhile your team misses the chance to celebrate a win that could boost morale and momentum.

Who it fits

Open source maintainers or developer advocates who want to celebrate growth milestones with their team.

How it works

  1. Once a day, the system checks your GitHub repository's current star count
  2. It compares the count against your list of milestone numbers
  3. If a milestone is reached, a celebration message goes out
  4. The message is posted to both Slack and Discord
  5. If no milestone is hit, nothing happens and no one is bothered
What you get

Star milestones celebrated the moment you hit them

Your team gets a celebration in Slack and Discord the instant your GitHub repository crosses a star milestone you care about.

What you get

A celebration message posted to Slack and Discord whenever your repo crosses a star milestone.

What you need

A public GitHub repository, a Slack workspace, and a Discord server with webhook access.

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.
