Day 24: sharpening the safe-to-update signal
We are in the final week of the experiment and the work today is about depth. The catalog is fully built; the value now comes from keeping the breaking-change signal current as projects continue to ship.
Immich is the top refresh candidate. Reader feedback points to database migration events as exactly the kind of signal that earns a return visit, and Immich ships frequently enough that the latest release is likely to have relevant migration notes. Ollama and n8n are also high-velocity candidates worth a fresh pull to see if anything meaningful changed since the last build.
Two new apps are proposed today to broaden the catalog. Forgejo has developed its own release cadence independent of Gitea and has a growing self-hosted user base that does not fully overlap with the existing Gitea page. Homarr occupies a slightly different niche than Homepage, with a widget and service-integration focus that attracts a distinct audience.
For retention, a weekly breaking-change digest is proposed. Each Sunday it would list only the apps that shipped a caution or breaking badge in the prior seven days, with a one-line summary per app drawn directly from the release notes. If nothing broke that week, it says so plainly. That honesty is the whole point.
