# Nogify – GitHub Repo Watcher
A Chrome extension that monitors your GitHub public repositories and notifies you when new **Issues** or **Pull Requests** are opened.
## Features
- Monitors all your public GitHub repos automatically
- Desktop notifications for new Issues & PRs
- Badge counter showing unseen events
- Configurable check interval (1-60 minutes)
- Token stored locally, never sent anywhere except GitHub API
- Dark theme UI
## Installation
1. Clone or download this repo
2. Open Chrome and go to `chrome://extensions/`
3. Enable **Developer mode** (top-right toggle)
4. Click **"Load unpacked"** and select the `nogify` folder
5. Click the Nogify icon in the toolbar, then open Settings
6. Enter your **GitHub username**
7. (Recommended) Add a **Personal Access Token** for higher rate limits
## Getting a GitHub Token
1. Go to [github.com/settings/tokens?type=beta](https://github.com/settings/tokens?type=beta)
2. Click **"Generate new token"**
3. Name it `Nogify Extension`
4. Under **Repository access**, select **"Public Repositories (read-only)"**
5. Click **"Generate token"** and copy it
6. Paste it in the extension settings
> **No extra scopes needed.** Public repo read access is sufficient.
### Rate Limits
| Auth Method | Limit |
|---|---|
| No token | 60 requests/hour |
| With token | 5,000 requests/hour |
Each check uses 1-2 requests via the Search API, regardless of repo count.
## How It Works
1. Background service worker runs on a timer (default: every 3 minutes)
2. Uses the GitHub Search API to find all open issues/PRs across your public repos in a single query
3. Compares against previously seen IDs
4. Sends Chrome notifications for new items
5. First run only populates the "seen" list (no spam on install)
