Seems cool, but to create an account we must give the following rights to your personal account:

  This application will be able to read and write all public and private repository data. This includes the following:
  
    Code
    Issues
    Pull requests
    Wikis
    Settings
    Webhooks and services
    Deploy keys
    Collaboration invites
  
  This application will be able to read and write all user data. This includes the following:
  
    Private email addresses
    Private profile information
    Followers

Isn't it a bit too much?

Thank you for your feedback. The (Code, Issues, Pull requests) permissions are required to access private contribution stats, and unfortunately GitHub does not allow read access on these resources individually nor separate from write access. I anticipate many users will not be able to grant private access and am exploring alternatives in the meantime.

You are able to get metrics on your public contributions by visiting githubtrends.io/wrapped/{user_id}

Let me know if you have any other questions.
