ekmartinon Show HN: Doppins – Automatic dependency upgrades through GitHub pull requests

Hi! Doppins is free for open-source (and currently also private) projects, but I get your point. What I like about using Doppins on my own projects is that I don't have to be actively developing a project for it to be useful - as long as a project has enough tests to make it safe to merge pull requests that pass continuous integration you can stay up to date on security updates and similar quite easily.

ekmartinon A Better Pip Workflow
