GitHub Stars Tracker

Live GitHub repo metrics on your Stream Deck — stars, forks, issues, and milestones that actually flash.

7 actions, zero setup for public repos. Type "owner/repo" in the Property Inspector and every key lights up. Need private repos or higher rate limits? Drop in a personal access token once — it's shared across every action.

What's included:

• Star Count — live count with +N delta since midnight • Fork Count — your repo's reach • Open Issues — amber alert when it climbs past your threshold • Stars Today — gained since local midnight, to-the-minute • Stars This Week — rolling 7-day trend • Milestone Tracker — live progress to your next round number (100, 500, 1k, 2k, 5k, 10k…) with a gold flash the moment you cross it • Repo Overview — cycle up to 4 repos on a single key

Features:

• Two display styles for numeric keys: Minimal (with optional progress bar) and 7-day Sparkline • Dark and Light themes — mix per key • Signature gold flash animation when your repo hits its next milestone • Auto-advancing milestone ladder (100 → 200 → 500 → 1k → 2k → 5k → 10k → 25k → …) — never re-configure • Public repos work with no token · optional PAT for private repos or beyond the 60 req/hr anon limit • Built-in mock mode — paste a token starting with "mock" for fixtures (great for screenshots) • Single token shared across all 7 actions via global settings — paste once, everywhere works • Smart caching so 7 actions watching the same repo make 1 network call per cycle

Setup (under 30 seconds for public repos):

Drop any action onto a key

Type "vercel/next.js" (or any owner/repo) in the Property Inspector

Press Validate, done

Optional token for private repos: github.com → Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Generate new token (classic or fine-grained). Paste once in any action's Property Inspector.
