ReleaseBar is a dashboard that shows the release health of public GitHub repositories for individual users and organizations. It gives open source maintainers and anyone following a developer's work a quick overview of how up-to-date each project is: what the latest release version is, when it was published, how many commits have happened since, whether CI checks are passing, and how much open issue or pull request activity exists. You access it by visiting a URL in the format release.bar/username, for example release.bar/microsoft, and the dashboard loads immediately from a server-side cache, then progressively fills in detailed release, commit, and CI data in the background so you see something useful right away without waiting for all data to load. A need-attention view highlights repositories with unreleased commits, stale releases, failing or cancelled CI pipelines, or significant issue and pull request pressure, with the reason shown inline. Clicking into a repository shows a detail page with release cadence history, recent releases, contributors, languages, commit activity charts, and 30-day issue and pull request trends. Owners can configure their dashboard through a settings panel: adding public users or organizations, hiding specific repositories, and controlling whether forks or archived repos appear. Signing in with a GitHub account gives the service dedicated API quota tied to your installation. The backend runs as a Cloudflare Worker with Cloudflare KV for caching and a Durable Object to prevent rebuild request stampedes on GitHub's API. The project is written in TypeScript.
