Great article (or start of article)!

The GitHub stars obsession is too much, though. I read the request in the main content area, then a nag banner popped up at the bottom of the page requesting it again. How annoyingly desperate and uncool.

Enough already, I'm trying to read!

Or was, anyway..

Plus I'm not even logged in to GitHub at present and cannot without getting to another device for 2FA.

No offense, but now I'll likely never give that star.

Arrr... Sorry about that. That was my idea, so my bad. We will get rid of the pop up banner.

Please do. Same here... read the initial request, but when the lower banner thing popped up also begging for a star my perception of that was negative.

Clicking on the [x] in the corner of the pop up (to get rid of it) then launched a new window (well, new tab in this case).

Didn't read the rest of the post.

Do you mind sharing what browser/OS were you using? Clicking on the [x] shouldn't do that.

(i'm the person who implemented that widget)
