Find GitHub issues worth contributing to, not just random noise.
PR Dashboard is a local-first GitHub issue finder for people who want to make better contribution decisions. It keeps the familiar search flow, then adds deterministic scoring, contribution guidance, and a lightweight Board so promising candidates do not get lost.
The app runs entirely in the browser. There is no backend sync in v1, no model API dependency, and no app-owned server receiving your GitHub token or Board data. Export/Import Local Data is the current phone/desktop bridge.
| Find Contributions | Board workflow |
|---|---|
|
 |
| Score and compare real public issues with transparent fit signals before saving one to the Board. | Move candidates through local review lanes, track checklist progress, and keep completed work separate. |
| Activity proof and reminders | API limits |
|---|---|
 |
 |
| Keep local completion history, review reminders, and learned feedback without a backend account or remote sync. | See primary REST/core and Search rate-limit buckets from response headers or a manual check. |
- Find Contributions and Lookup search GitHub issues with contribution-focused filters, exact issue URLs, and
owner/repo#123references. - Match/Fit Score and Contribution Brief combine transparent scoring rows, setup/platform evidence, pass reasons, and first-step guidance.
- Board workflow saves candidates into local lanes, tracks checklist progress, and keeps Save/Remove/Passed actions reversible.
- Activity owns Proof Log, Review reminders, and learned feedback/history from local workflow actions.
- Local controls cover Hidden Results, Profile preferences, and Export/Import Local Data without exporting tokens.
- API limits and optional token show REST/core and Search buckets; an optional token raises limits while staying browser-local unless you choose remember mode.
v1 deliberately ships without backend sync, GitHub OAuth, GitHub App auth, encrypted sync, a database, or a model API dependency. The app has no app-owned server receiving your GitHub token or Board data. Profile/header avatars can render from safe GitHub avatar URLs returned by Settings connection checks; GitHub auth and encrypted sync remain future backend-sync work.
npm install
npm run devThen open the local URL printed by Vite.

npm run test:readme-screenshotsPR Dashboard talks directly to GitHub from your browser with read-only REST and Search API calls.
- Public searches work without a token.
- Tokens are optional and only used for GitHub API requests.
- Find Contributions uses GitHub Search API limits. Exact Lookup and saved-card refresh use normal REST/core issue endpoints; see GitHub REST API rate limits and GitHub Search API limits.
- API limits are tracked from response headers when possible. The manual
Check limitsaction calls GitHub's rate-limit endpoint and shows the primarycoreandsearchbuckets. - Remembering a token is opt-in, uses browser
localStorage, and is never exported. - Saved board cards, Proof Log entries, Activity history, learned feedback, profile metadata, contribution preferences, Hidden Results keys, and board-derived reminder data stay local to your browser.
- GitHub avatar images load directly from safe GitHub avatar URLs. Tokens are never placed in avatar URLs or sent with image requests.
- Export/Import Local Data moves board, hidden, profile, preferences, learned feedback, and Proof Log data between browsers.
- Exports exclude GitHub tokens, remember-token settings, repo metadata cache, score/setup enrichment cache, raw setup bodies, Authorization headers, API errors, secret-bearing URLs, and private data.
- Setup evidence caches normalized summaries only, not raw setup text or raw config bodies.
- Hidden results are compact issue/repo keys and timestamps only, not issue titles, bodies, labels, repo metadata, or tokens.
- Proof Log is local marked-complete history. It does not verify remote merges.
