This could be pretty neat, but I'm hesitant to give an unknown app full write access to my private repositories. Especially when querying public stars can be done with readonly+public access.
I'm not sure many people would need to organize private repos that they've starred. I for one haven't even starred any private repos.
Using firefox? It's impossible to use, or even just scroll. Works in Chrome though. I suppose it is the star animations at the top of the page that bring firefox to its knees.
This app looks amazing, and it's pretty much what I've wished I had for a long time... but I have no intention of trying it out while it's asking for read/write access to all my repos.
Please make the permissions more sensible.
Also, what are your plans for offering data interaction? I would love to be able to poll categorical data from your site so I can further extend my star information.
Only if you want to be able to unstar from the app, with the app doing it via the API. I'd much rather give it read-only public access and not be able to unstar from it.
It would be nice to at least have the option of not providing access to public repos. Actually, I suspect most people wouldn't mind not being able to manage private starred repos so perhaps all it takes is a simple change of the permissions being asked for.
I understand there are some R/W issues with the GH permission model, but I don't think there's any problems with separating access to public and private repos.
Wow, this is great (for non-mobile). I just did a thing a few weeks ago that adds your GitHub started repos to Wunderlist with their description and homepage to make searching / sorting / remembering them easier: https://github.com/ip2k/wunder-star
I was really hoping someone would come forward. I'm at 200 and think I star too much. Anyways I had to take a screenshot if only for the rounded numbers.
It'd be a lot more valuable if it offered some initial organization (e.g. by primary language, or by author). Otherwise I'm left with several hundred stars to categorize.
The interface is gorgeous, but doesn't really do much. Also somewhat surprised to see it's not on Github its self.
Hi all, creator of Astral here! I just pushed a fix so it doesn't require private repo access. Sorry about that! All previous tokens have been revoked.
If you're wondering why it was there in the first place, either I'm blind and totally missed that auth scope, or it was added sometime after I started working on Astral, and I didn't notice it.
I just spent ~15 minutes adding a bunch of tags and really hope its a good pay-off (as in I remember to come back to this and actually use all the the useful plugins/libraries I starred previously).
I wish tagging was easier and simpler though, like literally just typing, pressing enter, and then tab to go to the next project. Also I turned the auto-language tagging setting on, nothing happened so I tagged a project "Python" then it auto-tagged 38 repos python but when I tagged more repos nothing happened
Edit: Also I wish the tags on the left-side were able to be sorted by # or abc
It would be nice if tags could be added faster, e.g., by dragging them onto repos. Adding tags by clicking on a repo, pressing "editing tags" etc., takes a bit too much time for my liking.
Although it's made for a desktop, it actually looks fine on a small device in landscape mode. I'm using an iPhone 5S and it's just wide enough to view the content fine. https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#A3GTI3fvKXgL9
It would be awesome if it showed popular tags for a repo rather than having to manually tag each one. Maybe it does have that feature and i just star obscure repos
This is fantastic! I've always felt that when I star something it launches into the void never to be seen again because Github makes discoverability of starred projects so difficult.
Only thing that I feel is missing would be a browser plugin that allowed me to add tags to a project straight from Github. It could be a bit of a slog to log in to Astral every time I want to add a couple of tags to a project that I've just starred.
I also notice that it uses my open-source Angular Classy project! Love seeing examples of Classy being used in the wild :-) (pimp: http://davej.github.io/angular-classy/)

May take a couple of hours until he fixed that.

Really rough, but it works for me (on a crontab)

Good idea though! I'll be using this.
It would be nice if tag names didn't have min. length. I can't tag stuff with "ui", "d3" etc.
* I created two tags with the same name 'Python' accidentally and I can't delete neither of them
* when adding tag to a repo, it would be nice to have a "Everyone else have tagged xxxx" helper, so I can add common tags with one click
Automatically add tag , based on repo description and using natural language processing
Some feature requests:
- Keyboard shortcuts, especially for tagging.
- Alternate layout that supports narrow window widths, much like email clients (Mail.app).
- Resizable / collapsible sidebar.
- Sortable tags list.
Thank you for making it!
Maybe look into making the tag adding easier when you can. For example:
1. click on the repo
2. click on 'Edit tags'
it would be good if the focus immediately switched to the tag edit box without having to click on it to edit it
Also, README's not in the 'default' markdown mode don't render so well. For example if the README is in org-mode...
Edit: Looks like the server is 500ing, according to the Javascript console.

... a chrome extension to show tags on the GitHub page.
Edit: Definitely found it's way to my bookmarks bar.
