Really neat. Is there a technical reason why it only allows you to receive notifications from repos that you own?

It's a limitation of the Github API. The app sends notifications after receiving a web hook from Github, and you can only add web hooks for repos you own.

Yet another reason why Github supporting PubSubHubbub would be amazing, as they have RSS for any repo anyway :)

They have some pubsubhubbub support (http://developer.github.com/v3/repos/hooks/#pubsubhubbub), but you still need write access to create a web hook on the account.

Your "fork me on github" image is broken. I bet you'd get a lot more watchers if you fix it ;)

It looks good to me. What are you seeing? What browser?

I see the broken-image image in Chrome, OS X Snow leopard.

Fine for me in Chrome 18 on OS X Lion.

I don't have any Chrome plans (I work for Mozilla), but I've heard rumors that the Chrome team is working on their own push notifications.

Eventually I want to get these APIs standardized and in other browsers, not just Firefox and Boot to Gecko.

Will this land (eventually) in XULRunner as well ?

Yes, it'll be part of the Gecko platform.

It relies on Mozilla's notifications API, which Chrome does not support (AFAIK).
