I created this because I was frustrated with losing interesting events happening on GitHub (GitHub doesn't send you emails when somebody stars or forks one of your repositories or follows/unfollows you).
It started out as a simple script that sent me an email, but then I thought that maybe this was something that other people could find useful, so I turned it into a website, picking up ruby again after a long time in the process.
You can find the code on GitHub: https://github.com/andreausu/github-notifier https://github.com/andreausu/github-notifier (it's not pretty, I know)
- hk__2 12y agoDon’t you have all these info on your GitHub homepage? While this project seems interesting for some people, I don’t get why would you want an email when someone stars your project. I’ve a project with 600+ stars, I’m glad I didn’t receive 600+ emails.
- Usu 12y agoYou do have all this in your timeline, but mine is really cluttered with all the notifications from my main job's organisation and it's easy to lose interesting stuff happening on my repos. About the email frequency, you can choose to only receive a daily or weekly report.
- hk__2 12y agoThanks, the weekly report is a great thing!
- onli 12y agoWell, I don't :) If you have smaller projects it helps with the motivation to see that people are interested enough to star it, even if it are only 4.
