Love this! The AI parsing plus Slack formatting makes a huge difference - I've definitely missed PRs in my inbox before. How robust is it with weird forwarded email chains or messy notification formats?
Thanks! I'm really glad you see the value in it. The system is built to be quite robust, even when dealing with messy or forwarded email chains. Since GitHub notifications follow a fairly consistent structure, Postmark helps by parsing those emails into clean JSON, which my app then processes to extract key information like the PR title, link, repository, status, and author. I’ve also added logic to handle forwarded messages, whether users add extra notes or not, and it works well across different forwarding formats including mobile email forwards and long CC threads. The Slack messages are formatted for clarity, stripping away noise so the notifications are clean and actionable. That said, I will continuously refining the parser, and if an edge case ever slips through, users can flag it directly so I can improve it even further.
Super smart! The AI parsing and custom routing make a real difference for team notifications.
Any plans for native integration with tools like Teams or WhatsApp next?
Thank you very much! Off course i have plans for that.
This has lots of usability. Weldone. I personally get lost in the mail spam from gitlab during work. And I think this would be very beneficial to me at the very least. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much my Boss I really appreciate the kind words! It's exactly that feeling of getting buried under GitHub or GitLab notification overload that inspired this project. The goal is to bring some calm to the chaos by highlighting only what truly needs your attention, so you don’t miss critical PRs or get distracted by noise. I'm glad to hear it resonates with you, and I’ll definitely keep building thanks again for the encouragement!
Insightful!
Cool idea, awesome project!
Thanks bro
Pretty cool seeing someone finally tame all that notification nonsense tbh you think this kinda workflow could cut down on all the random distractions too or does it just move the problem around
That’s a really thoughtful question and exactly the kind of feedback that wiil help me refine the product. The aim isn’t just to shift the noise from your inbox to Slack, but to make the signal-to-noise ratio much stronger. Instead of reacting to every ping, this kind of workflow helps you surface the things that actually matter like time-sensitive actions, team dependencies, or unreviewed work in a focused, structured way. In that sense, it can definitely reduce random distractions by acting as a smart filter layer, not just a forwarding system. Of course, like any tool, it’s only as effective as the rules and context it's given, but done right, it helps you stay aligned without drowning in notifications.
