May I just point out how awesome the original author is?

I mean, I'm using his GitHub indicator (available as an extension for both Chrome[0] and Firefox[1]), I'm collaborating with him on his mega popular awesome list[2] (currently the top non-code repository on GitHub by the number of stars), he started the whole GitHub AMA idea[3], he developed a bunch of command line clients that I'm using regularly (like speed-test[4], is-reachable[5] and is-github-down[6])... And now this! This guy is unstoppable!

In that case you can't put "Show HN" in the title. Otherwise every post could, since every post is showing HN something.

Thanks for the clarification and the title change!

Awhile back I had a Chrome extension that would show a fork of a source repo if it had more recent commits. This was super helpful for finding interesting bits of code. I can't find it anymore, anyone know what I'm talking about?

Not exactly what you're asking for, but `lovely-forks` [1] shows you "notable forks of Github repositories under their names", where "notable" is defined by comparing the number of stars.

I think this (and Dear GH) has been a reminder of how hard UX is, because many of these complaints have never fazed me.

Of course that says nothing about the quality of this project, and I'm glad people are pursuing their own solutions! I think most of my complaints require back-end changes unfortunately...

UX is hard indeed. If your UI improvements need back-end changes consider having a look at GitLab, we would be happy to collaborate.

Linkifies branch references in pull requests

This alone would be worth it, I have no idea why Github doesn't do that by default.

Alas, I'm on Firefox 8-).
