Devtalk Updates Thread

News bot for languages and frameworks is now live - it’ll check a projects GH to see if they use GitHub Releases and post those if they do, otherwise, we check the project’s official blog and post those.

We envisage that Devtalk users will be most interested in version release info, however blogs contain important updates too… the only issue is not all projects post all releases to blogs (sone just posting major versions) so we’ll review how this goes, perhaps switching to blogs for all projects or finding a way to utilise both but where we avoid duplicate items being posted (once as a GH release item and again via the blog).

It’s certainly been interesting seeing how different projects put out news :laughing:

Next:

  • We’ll add more portals to see how these news items look with more projects
  • We’ll start on our more general In The News system (where we post tech news from sites like the BBC, HN, etc, and then members get to decide which warrant a dedicated thread :nerd_face:)
