jackbewley··on Ask HN: Show me your half baked project
Changelog monitor tool I made for myself that I’m slowly making available.

I keep an eye on a number of project changelogs and needed to be notified when they update. Since they’re in various places, and don’t all have releases so I can’t use GitHub’s release notifications, I built a simple tool to consume from anywhere with an url and send me a diff. Slowly adding features on top of that.

I’d love to know if this is valuable to anyone else on the planet but me. Or what would make it so.

I'll say it. Been using the iPhone 6 for several weeks. Love it, but the screen is just a little too big for my tastes. It's awkward and I miss the smaller screen. It's enough of an annoyance I'm looking at other phones for the first time.

The Android app SayIt has a widget that does something similar to this. It learns purely from usage/recency and is generally very good at presenting you with the apps your most likely to launch. All of the analysis is performed on the device so no information is shared with 3rd party servers. It also sports very fast voice based app launching. No affiliation just use it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rn.sayit
