Talk is cheap.
The code is the news.
Sign in with GitHub, spin up a desk, and point it at the repos and sources you actually depend on. Every morning it files a wire — the commits, pull requests, releases, and CVEs that landed overnight. You curate the sources. We read the diffs.
Free. Public activity only — private repos are never read.

[ And this was a debug session from hell, enormously helped by an AI doing much of the grunt-work. … I suspect those things have been trained by people who may not be quite as stubborn as I am. - Linus ] (torvalds/linux — commit message)
Commit messages to me are as important as the code changes themselves. (Linus Torvalds — Open Source Summit, Lyon)
The most important part of the pull request description is the context on why… what is happening, why are we doing this thing? (Brian Scanlan — Building AI-First at Intercom)
Changelogs are for humans, not machines. Don't let your friends dump git logs into changelogs. (Olivier Lacan — keepachangelog.com)
for each desired change, make the change easy (warning: this may be hard), then make the easy change (Kent Beck — @KentBeck, 2012)
Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow. (Eric S. Raymond — The Cathedral and the Bazaar (Linus's Law))
Security is a process, not a product. (Bruce Schneier — The Process of Security, 2000)

- We read back through the commits, PRs and releases you already pushed and write up the days you worked. Your first visit is an archive, not a blank page.
- cron, not willpower
- An entry files at 11pm your time, every day you shipped something. You never write a word.
- a URL that's yours
- /journals/your-handle — a heat graph of your year, every entry behind it, a page you can share.
Your first entry files tonight. Free · public activity only — private repos are never read.
