Show HN: Get paid in GitHub stars for your open source work

Why does it need write access to all of my repositories, when I click on the demo link?

Dang, the curse of GitHub OAuth granularity strikes again!

> public_repo:

> Grants read/write access to code, commit statuses, collaborators, and deployment statuses for public repositories and organizations. Also required for starring public repositories.

Yes :(

I tried to find a better way to do that, but public_repo is the least granular permission that github provides.

get rid of write with (no scope)

Nice idea, but the permission page makes it look like a facebook scam app.

I get what you mean.

Will a page explaining exactly what's going to happen before asking permissions help?

Nice idea, but isn't it too much hassle?
