🤔 Motivation

I sometimes need a quick and easy way to get to the last few things I worked on on GitHub. Sadly, GitHub doesn’t really offer a good UI for this. As such, I built a simple tool for this. Besides my own activity, I sometimes use it to keep up with what other people I follow are working on.
