Show HN: I built a service to fix NPM's email flood problem

Built this over the past two days after yet another release that resulted in 12+ emails for a single repository. npm has this frustrating notion that spamming you with emails somehow keeps your account secure. I built it for myself, but given that npm staff gave up on that discussion a while ago, why not turn it into an actual micro-SaaS? :)

How it works: you set up an email filter to forward npm notifications to a unique address. npmDigest batches them and sends you a single digest (daily/weekly/monthly). It's a one time setup, and you only pay for months where emails have been forwarded.

Happy to answer any questions you would have when I wake up (Central Europe time), and I would love feedback!
