Show HN: WatchTurm – an open-source release visibility layer I use in my work

WatchTurm Saturday, February 21, 2026

I built this to solve a recurring problem in multi-repo, multi-environment setups: it’s surprisingly hard to answer “what is actually running where?” without checking several systems. WatchTurm is an open-source release visibility layer. It aggregates metadata from sources like GitHub, Jira and CI (e.g. TeamCity), generates a structured snapshot of environment state, and surfaces it in a single control view.

It doesn’t replace CI/CD or manage deployments. It sits above automation and focuses purely on visibility: - what version runs in each environment - how environments differ - what changed between releases

I’m currently using it in my own daily work and would really appreciate technical feedback, especially from teams with multi-environment pipelines.
