We’re slowly rolling out extra features that are enabled by installing the GitHub App (syncing state, CI status, author, assignee, labels) without needing repo scope, that’ll be free for open source repos and paid for private.
Didn’t expect to see this on HN news today, the homepage will be updated within the next day or two to explain the paid feature.
Octobox maintainer here, we’ve done a lot of work recently to make Octobox work better and fast for power users. I’ve heard that Shopify is using it to handle very high volumes of notifications and seem to be happy users.
We just launched this new podcast where we explore the technical details of package management, the stories and the history of various projects, and the communities around them too. Every two weeks there will be a brand new interview with a package manager maintainer.
First episode is an interview with Mike McQuaid, the lead maintainer of Homebrew.
Hey Dom, it's mostly because I've not written a parser for the .nimble manifest file, if you feel like adding it to https://github.com/librariesio/bibliothecary then it will be easy to add support for it!
I’ve been working on Dependency CI along with https://libraries.io, the service that powers it, in my spare time for the past few months, it’s great to finally get it out into the real world.
Dependency CI works like Travis CI but for the dependencies of your application, checking them for license and status issues every time you push to GitHub.
Projects are found via the apis provided by all the package managers that are tracked, Libraries watches rss feeds of new and updated packages on places like rubygems and npm and adds them from there.
Can't wait for it to integrate more automatically with my git workflow too.
