What it does
Probot is a framework for building GitHub Apps in Node.js, and a collection of apps built by the community that are free for anyone to use.
Use pre-built apps to extend GitHub, and easily build and share your own. Check out these hosted apps that extend your project on GitHub. They're all open source and free to use on any project. Drafts your next release notes as pull requests are merged into master. Discover dozens of apps that extend GitHub and improve your workflow. Receive webhooks and use the authenticated client to access the GitHub API. Granular permissions give each app access only to the data it needs and nothing more. Focus on what you want to build. A simple API—built on the latest ES6 JavaScript features—hides the details you don't carefrom probot.github.io

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years.

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…
