Starminder v4

I relaunched Starminder two weeks ago, and it eagerly awaits your signup.

Starminder is back!

In the summer of 2017 I launched the original version. Over time it garnered what I vaguely recall to be somewhere in the range of 20 users. Four years later I retired the web app version and launched v2, which ran as a GitHub Action. v3 was supposed to be a Django web app, but ended up being a false start. This new v4—CalVer’d 25.10.11 and onward—is a Django web app I started from scratch and built with Claude Code.

Starminder still basically does the same thing: it reminds you about the GitHub projects you’ve starred. In addition to the email delivery supported by all previous versions, it now also comes with a web page and an Atom (think RSS) feed. The repo is still public, though in need of some of housekeeping.

Here’s an example email:
