Exactly what zimbatm said. Why do you need to request to "Update your public and private repositories (Commits, Issues, etc)." I'm not using the service until either I know exactly why you need that information/ability or you take that part of the request off.

It would be great if the auth didn't require access to my private repos.

Seems interesting, definitely not using it unless the access to "Update your public and private repositories (Commits, Issues, etc)" is remove from the OAuth, though, that's insane.

Change your auth requests please, as been posted here before http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4619541 I'm not giving you access to my private repos, no matter how much I want to try this out. (and I do)

There is a similar google chrome addon https://github.com/punchagan/github-cue

I think you guys should work on algorithms. Results (at least for me) do not seem relevant at all.

cool idea - but no chance your getting access to my private repos

why not simply starred repos?
