Running the app

• Generate a github personal access token to ensure you don't get rate limited easily.

• export GITHUB_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN

• npm install

• node index.js

• Point browser to localhost:5000?username=YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME

TODO

• Ajax form submission
• Implement an actual web page using bootstrap or something
• Add field for entering github username
• Cache usernames and etags to make use of If-None-Match to reduce risk of reaching rate limit on github API.
• Show a list of pull requests in question
• Add disclaimer (github API only allows max of 300 events, so if you're a busy github bee, it probably won't do you justice)
• Add contextual message, e.g. 2/4 PRs done "Half way there", 4/4 PRs done "Way to go", 12/4 PRs done "Now you're showing off"
