Frustrated by the lack of a cross-repo overview in GitHub's native tooling, they created a Node backend plus React frontend that uses OAuth Device Flow, caches GitHub REST and GraphQL responses, and presents a unified view of issues, PRs, stale repos, and daily digests. The tool runs entirely on the user's machine so tokens never reach a browser or third-party server. The project was open-sourced after Reddit validation showed many developers share the same pain point. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Me and my colleagues were actually thinking about implementing something like this by ourselves, but for github actions, where actions from multiple repos would be in one place. This is especially useful if you've got microservices. **@mdshafinahmed** · 4 upvotes > You are very effective people. > Good Job. **@radmilomarkovic** · 3 upvotes > This is the perfect example of solving the problem in the real world.
