New releases are a chance to talk about how a project is developing. I’m happy to make another post in a bigger community to get more feedback, but I wanted to check here first to see if this is something you might want to do @[email protected]
A potential process could be
- User makes a request in [email protected], and tags the relevant mod
- If the mod approves, they can tag the admin of this instance to turn the feed on
There are also general communities that this could work for, such as [email protected] or [email protected], but those communities are active and may see this as spam. It may help to crosspost the bot posts to them instead.
Technical:
- This article had some information on creating feeds for GitHub.
- There may be a similar option for the GitHub alternatives.
- F-Droid would be cool, but I don’t think that’s possible yet
Potential issue: Repos with lots of pre-releases may feel like spam. Relevant issues here and here. Those repos could be skipped.
(sorry if this was already discussed)
Nice ok :)
I can’t decide between /list and !list as the command format. I think !list is a more standard format for bot interactions, but ! already means a community name, and the duplication is not ideal, so I went with /list. I keep typing !list though.
I went through a similar chain of thoughts, I think this should work :)
Another option is
-list, but that might be more for command line flags
