Show HN: DepsHub – Dependency updates made easy
Hi HN! I'm Andriy, a software engineer and the founder of DepsHub.
Every single team that I worked with always used tens (if not hundreds) of dependencies. There are usually two popular options: either you ignore the dependencies problem until it's too late and hard to migrate everything to newer versions (say hi to vulnerability issues), or you're constantly trying to find the balance between working on a product and doing its maintenance.
I decided to create DepsHub to solve these particular problems:
- Update noise. There is no need to update EVERY single library all the time. Your project should be relatively up to date with all the major packages updated and no security issues.
- Automatic major updates. Breaking changes occur all the time, and LLM are quite good at this point to take the changelog changes and apply them to the codebase automatically.
- Observability. I want to know what's the current status of all of my repositories, how outdated they are, and what I need to do to make it better. This is quite a new niche that not a lot of products are focusing on.
DepsHub is processing thousands release notes and changelogs, converting your codebase to embeddings and applies LLMs to fix any breaking changes that occur. It also uses some additional analysis to understand if the library is actually needed to be updated (some libs are having new versions every week!).
Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. Any feedback is more than welcome!

- mkylv 2y agoHey Andriy! It's fascinating to see creators deeply involved in the issues they're tackling. It truly reflects your dedication as a maker. I'm thrilled to see you addressing this so effectively! Big congratulations!

- pete_thewizz 2y agoGoodluck!!
- semanser 2y agothank you!
- dwrdbg 2y agoCongrats on the launch! Dependency updates can be such a chore and so its intriguing to see a product automate the process even more!
- semanser 2y agoThanks! Yeah, this is a recurrent problem that can't be solved once and for all (at least right now). So we definitely need better tools to deal with it.

- semanser 2y agoThanks for your comment! I remember seeing that HN allows resubmitting a link if it has 0 comments. > HN allows resubmission of links if they haven't had any discussion. Source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9864254 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9864254 But it seems like it was just a comment/speculation, and it has nothing to do with the guidelines that you added. Thanks for pointing it out!
- pvg 2y agoResubmitting a few times if you don't get traction is fine, getting friends, colleagues and relations to upvote or comment on your post is not, though.
