Open Repos: a free product to aid open source development

My first thought as well. :)

Thanks for letting us know. We're embedding a note to become the blog page, so presumably reader mode isn't hip to that. Curious if you can get it to work from this page (the note that is source of the blog)? https://public.amplenote.com/28y8CL5tsLYsGPN6HUguMpJF

Edit: Actually I'm pretty sure this alternate page also uses JS, so if JS is turned off, it's probably not going to work either. Not sure off the top of my head how to work around that.

As the blog author, you can believe I struggled to distill Open Repos down to a concise soundbite. What makes it hard is that we've built it cover many bases, and we're hoping that customer feedback will lead us in the directions that are most valuable. Here's what it is so far:

* A free product

* A product that collects per-release statistics such that A) maintainers save time summarizing their release B) devs who are evaluating a lib upgrade can hone in on the specific difference between their version (e.g., 1.0.1) and the current version

* A product that makes it possible to browse through all the commits being made to a repo in visual fashion (i.e., to learn code style or stay in the loop on changes) and to discover repos where interesting code is being written

Per Michael Seibel's recent recco on Twitter, this isn't an AI solution and we're not an AI company. Approximating code evolution is hard enough without it.
