Great feedback. Sorry about both of those. The first one is because it takes a little amount of time to get the repos from github. The second one is because people are signing in like crazy. Really sorry. one the next few day everything should be working properly.

Thank you for the time to write that.

From a UX perspective, I don't think anyone in your target audience would have a problem with the fact that it takes a little time to pull the repo. I'd just add a small badge that says something along the line of "Give us just a minute, we're still synchronizing your repositories." If the sync time is suitably short, you could even autorefresh every few seconds.

Check out CloudFlare - they do a great job with this exact situation in their record import screen.

Thanks! No worries. It's a cool product keep it up :-)
