Read GitHub releases on your Kindle

Release notes for the projects you depend on, read properly once a week instead of skimmed in a tab.

Set this up Free for 14 days.

Why on a schedule

Release notes are the one kind of technical writing that is always skimmed and never read, because they arrive while you are doing something else.

Collect a week of them for the projects you actually depend on and read them properly on a Monday morning, away from the terminal.

What arrives

The release title, tag and full release notes, rendered as an article.

Default schedule
