Ask HN: Slack bot for monitoring depencies updates

1 points by danieka ↗ HN
Today I use RSS for keeping up to date with dependencies that we use in our software but would like to increase visibility for this in our team to get more buy-in for keeping up with bugfixes in our dependencies. I'm thinking of writing a Slack bot that can ingest a package.json file, monitor for new versions and when a new version appears post to some channel with details of the new release.

Do you know of something like this, I couldn't find anything on Google? Would you find it useful?

You should have a look at Winds (https://getstream.io/winds). It keeps everything in one place and visibility seems to be a top priority. Pretty cool app and it's available for web and desktop.
