Val Town is a collaborative website to build and scale JavaScript apps.
Deploy APIs, crons, & store data โ all from the browser, and deployed in milliseconds.
A single daily email summarizing everything that happened on your GitHub account, sent once a day at 09:00 UTC. It discovers all your public repos automatically and tracks what's new since the last run in blob storage.
- โญ New stars on your repos (requires a GitHub token โ see below)
- ๐ฅ New followers
- ๐ด New forks of your repos
- ๐ฅ New issues & PRs opened on your repos
- ๐ New releases across your repos
- ๐๏ธ Your public activity over the last day
- Remix (or edit) this val.
- Set the
GITHUB_USERenvironment variable to your GitHub username (kept out of the public source so remixers don't inherit it). - (Optional) Set
GITHUB_TOKENto enable the stars section. Since July 2026 GitHub requires authentication for the stargazers endpoint, so without a token the digest simply skips stars and still sends the other five sections. A fine-grained personal access token with read access to public repositories is enough. - That's it โ
main.tsruns daily at 09:00 UTC. The first run seeds current state without emailing.
main.tsโ the daily job: gather each section, diff against blob state, email one combined digest.config.tsโ readsGITHUB_USER(andGITHUB_TOKEN) from env vars.
- Uses GitHub's keyless API for everything except stars, so it works with no setup. Adding a token raises the rate limit from 60 to 5,000 requests/hour.
- New public repos are picked up automatically; unchanged repos are skipped to save API calls.
