I wish we as an industry would agree on an icon standard. I noticed SourceTree for MacOS looks for `icon.png/jpg/gif` in the root folder of a project.

I wish github, gitlab, this and other repo related software displayed those by default. Less work, more fun

Well it sounds like this is more to have a centered Reddit-like forum for open-source projects on Github. It's more for discovery rather than saving.

You could make the same argument for Reddit by saying "But we already have bookmarks on the browser."

Isn't this app reading the trending repos feed? I don't see where it pulls specific repo details. Anyway, I'll explore the default scope again.

Hey! So, this project looks really interesting. I work at GitHub on the Partner Engineering team, we'd be happy to help guide your implementation to follow our best practices and help drive its success. Feel free to reach us at partnerengineering@github.com!

This is why I love HN.

I've used the GH API extensively, and this is a common misconception. The default (no scope) allows you to access public repository info (source: https://developer.github.com/apps/building-oauth-apps/unders... ). This GH app, for instance, received similar feedback and its author removed the offending scopes without losing functionality: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11261953

I would definitely love to use this after you've made updates to the ACL. Could you please post a follow up when you've accomplished that.
