  description

  Sneetches adds GitHub repository statistics inline next to repository links on any webpage you visit. At a glance, see how popular and active a project is without leaving the page.
  
  For every GitHub repo link on a page, Sneetches shows:
  - Stars - how popular the project is
  - Forks - how many people are building on it
  - Last pushed - how recently the project was updated
  Plus visual flags for archived projects and broken (404) links
  
  Works on any webpage - blog posts, documentation, awesome lists, Hacker News, Reddit, Stack Overflow, and more.
  
  Setup:
  The extension uses the GitHub API, which allows 60 requests/hour for unauthenticated users. To increase this to 5,000 requests/hour, add a GitHub Personal Access Token in the extension options (no scopes required).
  
  Open source: https://github.com/kesensoy/sneetches
