Dependency Change Radar for Indie Builders

A micro-SaaS for solo developers and indie hackers that watches public changelogs, API docs, and pricing pages for the tools their product depends on, then classifies whether a change is likely to break code, increase cost, or affect compliance. Unlike generic webpage monitors, it gives a developer-focused “so what?” summary and keeps a small dependency-change timeline for each project. This is realistic for one hour per day because the core is scheduled fetching, diffing, and rules; ML can be added later for better classification. Day 1 MVP: let users enter three URLs, fetch them daily with GitHub Actions, compute text diffs, and send a concise email digest. Free implementation: GitHub Actions, Python, SQLite/Turso free tier, Resend free tier, and Cloudflare Workers. Monetize with more monitored URLs, Slack/Discord alerts, team workspaces, and API-change severity scoring ($5–20/month).
