Seems it'd be much more useful to be able to have a commit hook POST the app's Gemfile to your service instead of doing everything via GitHub, unless there's something I'm missing?

I agree.

If you login through github and enable notifications, we install a post-receive hook.

For non github projects… we plan on eventually supporting that, but GitHub was an easy-lowest-common-denominator.

Defenately something uselful I would pay for. Unfortunately I can't let you access my private repos. Any alternative ?

We're planning on releasing a gem so you can use it without github.

If you're interested, add your email through the "I don't use GitHub" link on the front page, and we'll let you know when it's ready :).

Exactly what stopped me. I'd upload my Gemfile.locks, but I had to bail out at the github login screen.

How do you detect when something's a security update - and not just an incremental patch or feature addition?
