Show HN: I Cut GitHub Notification Noise by over 90% Using Gmail Filters

tomglynch — Thu, 01 May 2025 07:27:47 +0000

I found that most GitHub notification emails weren’t useful to me, so I set up Gmail filters and Multiple Inboxes to separate the noise from what actually matters. I found that most GitHub notification emails weren’t useful to me, so I set up Gmail filters and 'multiple inboxes' to separate the noise from what I actually need to see.

It’s surprising how much irrelevant email GitHub generates, and that there still isn’t a better way to get only the important notifications. How are others managing GitHub notification overload?

It seems crazy that such a widely used platform hasn’t solved this after so many years.

Tracking their stats is a great idea!

This is a really fun combination of tech and music. I don't see why it has to stop at just drums though!

I’m a big fan of glitch as well, so it’s very impressive you have built the same yourself. Do you self host the server and are there any limitations on languages you can use?

Hi, these are also my favourite things. OP, yourself and myself should start a club.

As an able bodied person, I see potential in mapping some of these to specific regular actions, rather than individual key presses. Using this, along with dictation and a keyboard/mouse combo could save a lot of time.

Why purchase a racing simulator cockpit or steering wheel when you've already got a perfectly good one at home!?

A group of 213 people have their own timezone.

I think this is more about the population in the sliver, than the size of the sliver itself. Using NASA's population estimation site [1] it estimates a population of 213.

Hey this is really cool - one suggestion - I had a lot of trouble watching the example video I think due to the microphone you've used. I had to close it because i couldn't stand the sound of the saliva in your mouth haha. So perhaps edit the audio, i'm sure there's a way to filter out those sounds.

In tumultuous times (fix wasn't implemented at this point), the Cloudflare CTO still has time for some wit. Love it!

I've come across your site before - I think you might need to rebrand though, your name is more likely to imply a car workshop tracker than cycling workout planning
