POC to show the flaw in project collaborator notifications on GitHub

In plain words

This is a proof-of-concept tool that demonstrates a vulnerability in GitHub's project collaborator notification system. Launched in 2016, it was created for developers and GitHub users who want to understand how notifications function within collaborative projects.

  "Git who" – A new CLI tool for industrial-scale Git blaming2025 · github.com · ▲252

  I've always wanted a better way to explore the authorship data embedded in a Git commit log. I'm having fun building a CLI tool to do this. It's a bit like the "Contributors" tab on Github that shows you how many commits each contributor has made but much faster and with many more options. If you get a chance to try it out, please let me know. I'd love to hear feedback and suggestions. Thank you!

  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…
