Re:Astral – Organize Your GitHub Stars with Ease by RobertKerans on Friday November 21, 2014 @07:00AM (#8640869)
This is really useful, and very nicely presented (having a secondary service is a faff, but unless GH integrates something similar, this looks the best solution I've seen). Just a few things I found as I tried to make a dent on my starred repos, apologies if I've just completely missed some functionality:

- The 'Edit Tags' form stay open when you switch repo.

- Switching to the next repo doesn't scroll the frame back to the top, which is a little annoying.

- Some minimal form of initial organisation (eg just automatically adding the language) would be good.

- It would be helpful if the 'tags' textbox autofocussed when 'edit tags' is clicked, so that typing could begin immediately.

- Following on from that, binding some keyboard shortcuts, allowing something [tab?] to save the tags and move onto the next one, would reduce the tedium of mass adding/updating.

- Some method of ordering the tags (ie alphabetically) would be nice, rather than just the order they were added - I don't find search to be that useful compared to simply scanning the list.

- Some method of keying to the next repo would be nice

Thanks for the feedback! Keyboard accessibility and more robust tagging/organizing is my highest priority right now, besides like, making sure my servers don't explode. ★
