GitYeller.com helps you watch GitHub repositories for specific labels

In plain words

GitYeller.com monitors GitHub repositories and alerts users when issues with specific labels appear. It's designed for open source contributors who want to find relevant issues to work on without constantly checking repository issue lists. The tool watches for custom labels like "Good first contribution" or "Need help" and notifies users when matching issues are posted, making it easier to discover contribution opportunities across multiple projects.

Kostas Bariotis 1 March 2017 Nodejs MongoDB It all started when Adonis told me that he was looking to contribute to some open source projects. He had a list of projects that he actively uses but he didn't want to always be checking their issues list for new issues that he could get his hands on. So we thought it would be cool if we had a way to watch a GitHub repository for issues of specific tags, e.g. "Need help", "Good first contribution", etc. I thought that's something I could easily hack in a weekend. So here's GitYeller . GitYeller is built using JavaScript. Node.js and React more specifically.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
