GitHub Release Watch (GHRW) makes sure that you always stay up-to-date on new releases of projects you love. It does this by checking GitHub daily for new tags on your favourite repositories, and sends you an email if there are.

You can find GitHub Release Watch online at http://gh-release-watch.com.

GitHub Release Watch will no longer be avaliable as of March 25, 2016.

GitHub Release Watch is written with Meteor.

git clone https://github.com/mystor/gh-release-watch.git
cd gh-release-watch
meteor

GHRW checks every for new tags from the GitHub API every hour.

When you first sign up, your stars are retrieved from GitHub, and used for suggestions. They are currently not being updated when you change your stars on GitHub, though that may change in the future.

Yes, at the bottom of the page there is a (change) link to allow you to change your email. Your email defaults to your public one on GitHub.

When you click the unsubscribe link in an email, your account is deactivated. Deactivated accounts will not receive updates. If you re-activate your account at a later date, by logging in and pressing the reactivate button, then you will continue to recieve email.

Occasionally I may delete old accounts which are deactivated. If this happens you will have to reselect your watches if you return.

I always want to make GitHub Release Watch better. If you find any bugs, or have suggestions, let me know by making an issue, or, even better, by fixing the problem and making a pull request.
