Awesome, thanks guys. I tried the RubyGems subscription feature but hadn't found the RSS feed. That's a bit simpler than webhooks. Probably means I could use ITTT instead of Zapier for recipe-building, too.
Chris, if one could opt-in to receive emails when a subscribed-to gem is updated, I would enjoy that a lot. That's what my Zapier recipe does.
