Sneak peek: tail -f thechangelog

Published: January 21st, 2010

I wanted to give you my readers (all five of you) a sneak peek at a little something Adam and I have been working on over at The Changelog.

Introducing tail.thechangelog.com

Adam and I are always looking for ways to discover what’s fresh and new in open source so we built a little application that helps you drink from the GitHub firehose. Tail gives you a real-time view of all public GithHub events and lets you filter by event type and programming languages. It still has some rough spots but we’d love to get your feed back here or just send a tweet to @changelogshow.

  • Adam showed this to me a little while back and I'm really loving it. My only beef is really on the UI side....it's not immediately apparent when/where updates are going to show up when the stream refreshes, and then when looking at individual items its not clear which icons/links change the tail filtering and which ones take me offsite.

    This is a really interesting resource though, nice work.
  • Great points, Matt, and I agree. When someone sees this for the first time we normally say 'Wait for it... Wait for it...'. I think a splash message might help. I'll see what I can do on the +filter vs. navigation distinction on links, too. Thanks!
