Description

The GitHub Release Notes Watcher is a web application that allows users to monitor and view the latest release notes of specified GitHub repositories. The application fetches the latest release notes from GitHub repositories specified by the user and displays them in a user-friendly format. Users can manage the list of repositories they want to monitor through a settings interface. The application caches the fetched release notes to improve performance and reduce the need for repeated API calls.
