SpecStream is the live web data engine for teams and agents. It reads open-source repositories on GitHub and keeps what it reads, and this page groups that reading by topic. Ask for the repositories you track by topic, language, license or activity, and new ones and changes arrive in your sheet, CRM, Slack or agent.
