Get a daily email when a GitHub project ships a new release

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken.

The problem it solves

Keeping track of when a tool or dependency your business relies on gets updated means remembering to check manually, which rarely happens consistently. Missing a release can mean missing important fixes or new features. You'd rather have the update come to you.

Who it fits

Developers, IT managers, or product leads who need to track releases for tools they depend on.

How it works

  1. The system checks the repository once a day
  2. It looks at the latest release and confirms it's actually new
  3. The release notes are converted into a clean, readable format
  4. A summary email is sent with what changed
What you get

New releases you learn about same day

You get a same-day email summarizing what changed whenever a tool you depend on ships a new release.

What you get

A daily email summarizing new releases from a GitHub project you track.

What you need

A GitHub repository to monitor and an email account for sending notifications.

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.
