Beacon predicts open source package abandonment before it becomes your incident. Get SPS scores, tier alerts, and daily digests — so your team acts before the dependency breaks, not after.

Hey PH! 👋
We built Beacon after watching teams scramble when a critical dependency quietly died — no warning, just a broken build and a weekend on fire.
Beacon continuously monitors your open source packages and predicts which ones are headed toward abandonment — before they become your incident. Every package gets an SPS (Software Package Score) based on commit velocity, maintainer activity, funding signals, issue resolution, and security hygiene.
You get tier alerts when a package drops, daily or weekly digests, and Slack notifications — so your team can plan migrations calmly instead of reacting in a crisis.
Would love to hear what dependency nightmares you've dealt with — and what you'd want Beacon to catch first. 🚀
Most ops tools are either too basic or way too heavy. Beacon looks like a good middle ground for small service teams juggling multiple clients.

There’s a lot packed in here, but the interface still looks easy to understand. Curious how it holds up after a few weeks of daily use.

Day 2 on PH — thank you all for the love so far 💙 Really grateful for the support, comments, and thoughtful feedback on Beacon yesterday.
One thing that’s been clear from the conversations so far: almost everyone has a dependency horror story 😅 broken builds, abandoned packages, security issues, or maintainers disappearing at the worst possible time. That’s exactly the mess we built Beacon for.
If that sounds familiar, we’d love for you to try Beacon and put it through its paces. Connect a repo, see what it flags, and tell us what feels useful, missing, or completely wrong — we’re building this with early feedback in mind.
And if you’ve ever been burned by a package quietly going stale, drop your story below. We’d love to know what signal or alert would’ve saved you the most pain 👇
