But I have always felt I could never discover projects outside of GitHub. Partly because adding GitHub as keyword to your search often gives the best results.
On a project I work on I even push the repository from Gitlab to GitHub just for the exposure.
So a good alternative to GitHub being the de facto open source project discovery site would be nice. That said I don't hate GitHub and I'm happy I can find almost everything I need there.
This application will be able to read and write all public repository data. This includes the following:
Code Issues Pull requests Wikis Settings Webhooks and services Deploy keys
This GH app, for instance, received similar feedback and its author removed the offending scopes without losing functionality: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11261953
But we already have stars on GitHub.
You could make the same argument for Reddit by saying "But we already have bookmarks on the browser."
feedback: I had a hard time using the site until I whitelisted dozens of third-party css, images, js, cookies, frames and XHRs. The umatrix list is HUGE.
If I may make a suggestion, can you tweak the layout/design for a better mobile experience?
I can only read the first three or so words about the repos when scrolling through the list.

I wish github, gitlab, this and other repo related software displayed those by default. Less work, more fun
