New Product Notifications

[TIncorviaITLS]

Is there an option to get an email notification whenever a new entry is made? I.e., an email stating the name of the project, the affected releases, the EOL Dates, etc. ?

I've created an issue that you can subscribe to: #6158

cc @endoflife-date/everyone New chore till we add some automation - post new-product PR merges to #6158

I picked an issue instead of discussion since issues are unthreaded and subscribing is easier)

Good idea, should we create a template for easier doing the chore?

Let us send out the first few notifications manually to figure it out instead of deciding a template too early.

Meanwhile two new products:

• https://endoflife.date/svelte
• https://endoflife.date/pixel-watch

The search link was helpful (but it sorts by updated, not merged date, which can be a bit off).

I've sent the first announce (issue was filed on 4th Nov, so this was exactly a month). Thinking 4th of every month might be a good date, since that is also around when I get the Analytics reports.

For the notification, I've tried to include:

• Product Name
• A short description
• Some quick "good/bad" release information on what users should be using.
• Additional context about any product that might be relevant (in this case Hashicorp Packer).

Can tweak over time, but setting a reminder for 4th Jan.
