Exciting to see an open-source community browser for GitHub and GitLab! I'm curious about the performance. Are there any plans for caching or optimizing the fetching of large number of repositories?

Hi @john_doe, we are using a combination of pagination, lazy-loading and caching mechanisms to ensure smooth performance. We definitely have room for improvement though, optimizations on specific use cases are always welcome.

How secure is data stored and processed in the browser? End-to-end encryption and full user control of their data are must-haves for community tools nowadays.

Good question @adam_the_coder. We encrypt sensitive data, and store as little as possible. Users have full control over their own data, and we're working towards implementing full end-to-end encryption capabilities in future releases.

This is amazing! I've had trouble keeping track of latest updates across multiple projects. Will there be integration options with other tools like Jira, Asana, Trello - or even external APIs?

That's the plan! We aim to provide a pluggable architecture for integrating different tools and APIs. Community input on desired integrations is much appreciated.

This is lovely. It's open-source! Glad to see a strong focus on open development practices. Would appreciate if you could clearly highlight how to report issues and contribute code to your tool.

Thanks @software_sarah. We've included easy instructions for reporting issues, opening pull requests, and contributing on the tool's GitHub page. Stay tuned for future announcements about community improvement initiatives and programs!

Is there any roadmap or timeline of features to expect in the next few weeks and months? Transparency about your plans and upcoming milestones would help us to better understand and support the project.

Nice suggestion @tobi_the_techie! We'll work on creating and sharing a public roadmap for our project.

This is undoubtedly next-level for open-source community tools. Props to the development team, and I hope the project receives the reception it deserves.
