GitHub is a tremendous source of code and projects. Great for everyday work, inspiration and learning. Nice extension and too bad it's for Chrome only.

I've recently hacked a quick app for fast access to GitHub stars [1], just because I needed it so badly, although you (currently) can't tag repositories, only save your searches.

Sorry, couldn't figure out what it does. Is it searching your starred projects maybe?

Yeah, searching any user's starred projects. Yours or somebody else. Try it out at http://stuff.hanula.com/starhub/

An alternative I like that doesn't involve a chrome extension is AstralApp. http://astralapp.com

Very nice UI.

I've been using a native mac app called ohmystar that looks very similar to astralapp!!! http://www.ohmystarapp.com/

For Mac, checkout http://octohubapp.com/ too.

Do you prefer a native app over a browser extension?

Specially looking for any kind of constructive feedback. How could I make it useful for YOU?

Why do you need permission to read history & bookmarks?

I don't. It was a quick hack of my other extension where I do need those permissions and this slipped through the cracks. Removed and uploaded a new version. Should become active shortly.
