In 2015 I made @drupal8modules, a Twitter bot that tweeted new Drupal module and theme releases along with their release notes. A cron job, the Drupal.org API, and the Twitter API — that was about it.
It ran for almost eight years without much attention. Just a steady stream of releases for a group of 2000 followers who found it useful.
When Twitter changed its API pricing in 2023, I took it offline.
I still wanted a simple way to follow new releases without checking Drupal.org manually, so I built drupalreleases.com. Same idea — track module and theme releases — but on its own site instead of someone else’s platform.
What it does
A chronological feed of every module and theme release on Drupal.org, filterable by type, with links to release notes and project pages.
What’s next
I have some ideas for where to take it: module health profiles, ecosystem trends, support lifecycle tracking. For now though, the basics are there and I use it daily.
Have a look at drupalreleases.com.
