Last year at pgconf.dev, there was a discussion about improving the user interface for the PostgreSQL hackers mailing list, which is the main communication channel for PostgreSQL core development. Based on that discussion, I want to share a small project we have been working on:

This is an awesome app. Should be included in some talk a a conference about “How to get involved in Postgres Hacking” or something like that. Makes it very easy to identify high-traffic and low-traffic threads. Wish I knew about it earlier before I tried building my own (GitHub - richyen/pgsql-hackers-viewer: PgPulse | heartbeat of pgsql-hackers threads -- A browser viewer for monitoring pgsql-hackers to identify which threads are actively being worked on) – google didn’t tell me about this

Thanks a lot for reaching out and sharing feedback. Yes hackers and following the ongoing development is a big challenge and this is a try to ease the overall pain. Please let us know, in case you would like to have any additional features, things done differently and you’re also absolutely welcome to contribute.
I’ll take a look at your project as well, thanks for sharing.
Kai
Note: The project is new, that’s why Google search didn’t show anything.
