It is a big contribution to opensource it. The work behind the data is huge and extremely significant. Thanks Troy!

The service implementation that I did with a bit different technical requirement is here https://github.com/janos/compromised as an alternative. It is actively used behind the NewReleases.io service.

It focuses on extremely low memory usage and supporting very high request rates on a commodity hardware, cheap vps or cloud instances.

Re:Why I prefer making useless stuff on Monday May 24, 2021 @03:52AM (#27261974)
I must say that I also relate with the author and would add that making things just for fun or your own curiosity or even need, can be beneficial to others too, directly or indirectly. With every toy project, new skills are acquired. Useful or not, you cannot now at the time, but I can say that if I did not make toy projects, I would not have jobs that I had and some of the projects that others also find useful, like https://newreleases.io, would not exist.
Re:Alpine Linux 3.13 on Thursday January 14, 2021 @04:25PM (#25782806)
Of course, I am affiliated, but also using it for Alpine Docker image notifications.
Re:Alpine Linux 3.13 on Thursday January 14, 2021 @02:08PM (#25780723)
Given the popularity of Alpine it is important to update images as soon as possible given how many significant updates are there. Services like [1] help a lot for that...

Re:TailwindCSS v2.0 on Wednesday November 18, 2020 @04:57PM (#25142973)
Tailwind released 2.0, but it is a result of constant work releasing new versions gradually and listening to the users. This is a very active project and it is good to keep an eye on new things https://newreleases.io/npm/tailwindcss. Actually, 2.0.1 is out already. :)
Re:Compromised – Pwned passwords API on-premisses on Thursday November 05, 2020 @09:28AM (#24998513)
It is a manual update, replacing, for now. Automated update would be a good improvement, for sure. It is not there just as it is a recently started project. Also updates are not so frequent.
Re:Go 1.15 Released on Tuesday August 11, 2020 @06:45PM (#24126875)
Or if you do not and you like official releases, you can use some of the services like https://newreleases.io to get notification and install using official installer.
Re:Larder.io – Bookmarking for Developers on Sunday June 07, 2020 @03:24AM (#23445464)
Not a bookmarking site per se, but has many notifacation options for developers on projects that they track https://newreleases.io.
Re:Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project? on Thursday May 14, 2020 @04:48PM (#23185216)
I am implementing organisations feature to https://newreleases.io, which is a software release tracker service.

Thank you for making it!
Re:Always Review Your Dependencies, AGPL Edition on Monday January 06, 2020 @05:37AM (#21968098)
And also very important to watch for changes of your dependencies, as they can be quite dynamic. A single review too early or too late in the development process may have misleading results. Watching for commit changes is too time consuming, so watching for releases is a bit easier, especially if you use something like https://newreleases.io or other similar sites.
The stack can be much boring, simple and easy to maintain. Golang helps a lot for that.

For example https://newreleases.io/

- Go with embedded databases for web services

- Vue.js for frontend

- Nginx just as there are other sites on the server

- Prometheus/Grafana for monitoring

- Gitea for code hosting and some automation

- Bind9 for DNS

- Debian

Re:Django 3.0 alpha 1 released on Tuesday September 10, 2019 @10:09AM (#20928352)
ASGI, finally! I was so happy to see the first alpha newreleases.io notification for version 3.
Re:Async-std: an async port of the Rust standard library on Friday August 16, 2019 @06:10PM (#20720197)
I am wondering that also, scheduler is of most importance.

Go is such a joy to work with.

Re:Rails 6.0 on Friday August 16, 2019 @04:01PM (#20719130)
Very cool! Congratulations!

I was happy to se new Rails notification from newreleases.io today.

Re:GitHub Package Registry on Saturday May 11, 2019 @04:09AM (#19885155)
This will be very neat just as GitHub user experience is so far. Centralization is a questionable, but it looks like that the community values much more the convenience than decentralization and privacy. In any case, it is excellent to have multiple choices beside other registries. I hope that other services like https://newreleases.io will catch up and support this registry as well. But, maybe this would even make them obsolete and everything a bit more centralized.

Re:Bleve: Full-text search and indexing for Go on Monday April 08, 2019 @01:39PM (#19607309)
Thank you very much for Bleve! It was useful for me on a few projects. And, do not be afraid to break things in the future major version, modules are handling that nicely.
