I'm been trying this out the past couple weeks and found it very handy to share a trace with my team to give more context along side a pull request.

Can't wait for it to integrate more automatically with my git workflow too.

https://nesbitt.io - mostly writing about package management

Oh yeah good catch, we’ll get that added

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.

Agreed scrolling on mobile safari is borked, will definitely get that fixed up!

Privacy policy is at https://octobox.io/privacy

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.

Swift switched all their issue tracking to Jira a while back

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.

It's in the works, very little documentation at the moment: https://github.com/dependencyci/dotyaml

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!

Currently only supports GitHub but bitbucket and gitlab are on the todo list as well

Agreed, I'll definitely the ability to move your dependencyci.yml file into a .github folder like the issue and pull request templates: https://github.com/blog/2111-issue-and-pull-request-template...

Will investigate that for you shortly, I've only just added support for gradle, might be skipping some sections of file

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.

I've written a up a post on medium with more details: https://medium.com/@teabass/introducing-dependency-ci-e859fa...

It’s 100% free for open source projects and there’s a 14 day free trial for checking private github repositories too.

I've been working on a similar list, highlighting the most depended upon projects rather than GitHub stars: https://libraries.io/bus-factor

It's in the pipeline but I'm only working on this in my spare time at the moment so it might be a couple months out.

@sandis the search does use a thing I've been calling "SourceRank", I blogged about it here: https://medium.com/@teabass/solving-open-source-discovery-db...

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.

I been working on Libraries.io in my spare time for the past couple months, I wrote up a little more about how Libraries.io it works on medium: https://medium.com/@teabass/solving-open-source-discovery-db...

Yep, I'm working on that at the moment.

They are at the moment, Go doesn't have a central repository like npmjs.org, each project is just a url that you can "go get", I'm trying to find a good way to group them that keeps the full dependency graph intact.

The keyword filtering is slightly borked at the moment, this does work though: http://libraries.io/search?platforms=NPM&q=debug

At the moment we lean completely on linguist for language detection, which isn't perfect but gets us a good amount of the way there.

Once we've got OPAM support more OCaml libraries will start to show up.

You can sort by stars, there's just not a UI yet: http://libraries.io/search?order=desc&sort=stars

Pypi is lacking in information but I'm working on pulling it from other sources to improve the quality for Python libraries.

I'm using https://github.com/github/linguist for language information, still waiting for this pr to be merged for the Nimrod => Nim change: https://github.com/github/linguist/pull/1936

Currently I'm only pulling data from package managers like rubygems and npm, I couldn't find a C++ one yet, although https://www.biicode.com/ looks handy for that, I'll investigate.

More details on how it works in this blog post: https://medium.com/@teabass/solving-open-source-discovery-db...

Thanks, both of those features are high on my todo list.

For sure, I'm constantly tweaking the ranking to get better results as more information becomes available, if you have any ideas or problems, please do add them to the issue tracker: https://github.com/librariesio/support/issues/new
