Gee, I never knew that gist was being used to spam live-tv stream blogspot links. I got my hopes up that someone had a script that would automagically connect me to the live baseball game of my choosing... ah well, what was I thinking.
Otherwise it's fun to watch, and a surprising amount are actually interesting/relevant.
I'd like it more if it had a backlog. Putting that widget on any website is difficult because the likelihood that someone will be there long enough for a commit is fairly low.
Surprisingly entertaining -- thanks! It'd be nice if the the popup messages had a force field around them, so they stayed readable for as long as possible.
That's a good idea. It's definitely not using space very optimally as it is, though it's meant to feel like a busy "hubbub" / very active, so that's somewhat intentional.
This is great. But it would be nicer if the algorithm to randomly place the new messages would attempt to not obscure the most recent ones; sometimes I was trying to read a really interesting message and it got covered up before I finished reading.

it's a very simple wrapper around the github events api: https://api.github.com/events (or in the code at https://github.com/hrldcpr/githubbub/blob/master/githubbub.j...)
in particular, it shows the main event types that have substantial text content in them, so mostly commits and comments.
