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.

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!

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.

Re:The Manifest – A podcast all about package management on Monday August 21, 2017 @06:10AM (#15063349)
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
