**Willow** exists because decentralisation, as wonderful as it is, does have
some pain points. One piece of software is on GitHub, another piece is on
GitLab, one on Bitbucket, a fourth on [SourceHut], a fifth on the developer's
self-hosted Forgejo instance. The capabilities of each platform can differ as
well, making the problem even more difficult to solve. Forgejo and GitHub have
RSS feeds that notify you of releases as well as APIs. SourceHut has firehose
RSS feeds that notify you of _all_ activity in the repo plus an APIs. GitLab
only has an API. Some release announcements might be on the developer's personal
blog. Sometimes there's a CVE announcement prior to a release and those get
published on a different platform entirely.
