Suggestion: changelog, release, notification about awesome-macos

[iCHAIT]

Great @notDavid

I have added you as a collaborator. I think you'll need to accept the invitation. Then you can go ahead and open a PR for the release I think. I am not very familiar with how Releases work on Github.

[notDavid]

Accepted, thank you!

I will have a look and add the releases soon (as shown in my first comment above), in the next few days.
Adding/updating a new release once every 3 months should be plenty i think…?

Also, I suggest skipping descriptions entirely for changed and deleted entries, only adding what was done to them.

For new entries the description should of course be present for the very reason you stated.

[iCHAIT]

@notDavid happy to add you as a collaborator if you are interested in working on this :)

[notDavid]

@iCHAIT Sure, glad to help 👍🏼

[iCHAIT]

Yep, once every 3 months should be a good start 👍

[iCHAIT]

Hi @notDavid any update on this?

[notDavid]

Hi @iCHAIT, sorry for the delay.

Let me know if you think the layout is okay (it’s saved as a draft currently), or if you want me to change anything: https://github.com/iCHAIT/awesome-macOS/releases

[iCHAIT]

Looks good to me.
@herrbischoff @dkhamsing guys, any feedback/ideas on this?

[herrbischoff]

LGTM, basically.

Regarding removals, the reason for removal would be a nice addition. Like so:

- GitHub Desktop Reason: Electron/Web app.

Also, I suggest skipping descriptions entirely for changed and deleted entries, only adding what was done to them.

[dkhamsing]

lgtm

yes, might be less work to skip description

[notDavid]

the reason for removal would be a nice addition

👍🏼

Are you sure you also want to remove the descriptions? For example when you sign up for “Repo > Watch > Custom > Releases” you will get notified by e-mail for new releases.

However when there’s no descriptions, and people see something like

+ krisp
+ swish
+ recodia

they have no clue if it might be of any use to them?

[notDavid]

If everybody is happy i’ll close the issue and i’ll publish a new release this way, quarterly…

[iCHAIT]

Thank you all. Look forward to the quarterly releases. Thanks @notDavid for the help 😄
