Show HN: Crowdsourced tracker for what each Windows/M365 update breaks

Sysadmins find out about a broken Windows update three ways: a user ticket the morning after Patch Tuesday, an r/sysadmin thread 48 hours later, or Microsoft s own Known Issues page 1–3 weeks deep. There s no central feed of this KB broke this thing on this config. Bleeping Computer and AskWoody are the closest, but slow and unstructured.So I built one.What it does: - Pulls posts every 4–6h from r/sysadmin, r/msp, r/Intune, r/ActiveDirectory, r/exchangeserver, r/AZURE via the Reddit JSON API - Pulls RSS from MS Health Dashboard, Bleeping Computer, AskWoody, BornCity, MS Security Blog, and the Windows IT Pro / Intune / Exchange TechCommunity boards - Groups by (primary KB, component) so 12 threads about the same 802.1X bug become one row with 12 source links - Ranks by score + post_count + recency - Optional Thursday digest email via ResendEvery regression row links back to the underlying Reddit/RSS posts — the classifier is not authoritative, the source threads are. If the LLM misreads something the evidence is one click away.What I d love feedback on: - Sources I m missing. Specifically non-English ones (BornCity is the only DE source right now; nothing for JP/KR where MS ships region-specific KBs). - Classifier failure modes. Edge cases where it s calling things regressions that aren t, or missing real ones.Free to read. Digest signup is optional. I m the only person on it.
