App link not opening? Your installed version may not recognize website template links yet. Use Templates inside CAR-TER, or download the file and open it with CAR-TER from Files or the share sheet. Get CAR-TER on the App Store.

In the app: Templates → Featured → Release Radar. The app catalog version is signed and unlocks the template’s controls; manual file imports may require Control Pack for some controls.

Try it in 60 seconds

  1. Read the question. Check the source response and retrieval time before trusting any reading.
  2. Drag across the timeline to select a window or milestone.
  3. Tap either reading card to reveal what it means. Open Explore for another view and the source records.
  4. Find the observation time. Atom update times can change after edits. The feed includes development builds and does not supply authoritative stability flags. Nothing is installed.

The idea worth keeping

An update timestamp is not an original release date. Name the event your timeline actually represents.

A short script you can read aloud

“Which Neovim release entries were updated recently? This layout starts with that question, not a wall of controls. The data comes from GitHub / Neovim contributors. Drag across the timeline to select a window or milestone. The reading cards tell you what to notice; turn one over when you need context. An update timestamp is not an original release date. Name the event your timeline actually represents. One important limit: Atom update times can change after edits. The feed includes development builds and does not supply authoritative stability flags. Nothing is installed.”

Suggested animation scene

Place a labeled event on the time axis. Extend only genuine start/end windows into bars; keep instantaneous events as diamonds.

Storyboard: 0–8 seconds, ask the question. 8–25 seconds, introduce one observation. 25–45 seconds, perform the gesture above. 45–60 seconds, show the timestamp and limitation. Keep labels readable, offer a reduced-motion cut, and use actual source values or a clearly marked replay.

How this becomes a layout

The provider publishes data → a small read-only adapter selects and names the useful fields → CAR-TER controls bind to those fields. All controls in this template share one endpoint. Polling is cached for 3600 seconds; that is a retrieval interval, not a promise that the source updates that often.

Remix exercise

Duplicate this layout. Keep the source and units unchanged, but replace the primary visualization with the alternative in Explore, or move the record list above it. Ask a new reader which arrangement answers the opening question faster. Changing location or query parameters requires a new allowlisted server-side source, not an unwired selector.

Source, rights and limitations

Public GitHub syndication metadata; GitHub and project terms apply. Release-note bodies are not displayed or redistributed by the feed endpoint.

Atom update times can change after edits. The feed includes development builds and does not supply authoritative stability flags. Nothing is installed.

This is a selected result window, not a full archive. Missing numbers are not replaced with zero. Lines connect available observations; consult records for gaps. A green READY badge means the last retrieval succeeded, not that the underlying observation is recent. STALE means a retained prior response; UNAVAILABLE means no usable cached response. If your device goes offline, check the displayed retrieval time: the last screen can remain visible.

Open-data and publicly accessible API are different promises. This collection labels each source’s conditions; it does not assert that every provider’s database or API is open-source software.
