"Oh my God! — it's full of stars!"
Discover new packages through social delegation!
You can install starryeyes from github with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("jonocarroll/starryeyes")
GitHub doesn't officially have an API endpoint for "which of the people I follow starred something?" but I wanted a way to do this. Originally I set up an IFTTT action to watch my private GitHub RSS feed and send me an email when a new star appeared, but this quickly filled my inbox.
This way, I can check-in when I like.
starryeyes()
to produce a shinydashboard
of the activity.This will work out your GitHub username by itself if you're using a GITHUB_PAT
environment variable already. If not, you can supply your GitHub username
. You can enter your password
or be prompted (securely) for it. You can just provide the feedURL
if you rather skip all of that (see github.com
if you're logged in).
The final product looks something like this:
"Oh my God! it's full of stars!"
