Thanks for bitbar @Shikkic, this will really help me to keep up my daily OSS contributions. Your plugin is also the reason why I downloaded bitbar, as I knew about it but never had the need to bloat up my menu bar even more. But this gave me all the reason I needed! :D
Thank you! Glad to hear it! I'm trying to maintain more OSS work myself. I love bitbar and totally encourage everybody to play with it and make their own plugin.
I loved the idea of this Bar Widget, but I had the same issues are you @FireBeyond.
Luckily you can easily hack the plugin as there's just 1 small file you have to edit (gh.5m.js)
The way you calculate your percentage is also super weird @Shikkic. It's all about daily contributes, but yet you calculate your percentage via the total contributes? I mean common, that will just give a fucking huge numbers. Also total contributes are not a stat I care about. Either way love the idea and the execution is quite cool :) Using it right now (albeit a tiny bit modified version)
here is a screenshot of my modified version (much smaller width, and some stats that I don't care about removed): http://www.imgpaste.net/image/AQBp
Maybe you could go with different layouts that you can set via the env file? Like Compact mode (for people like me that have a 13" laptop) and a normal mode. Or perhaps your config can go more complex than that. But I think if you download this plugin, you will also know what those numbers mean, I would think. I'm a UX noob though.
We all have private repos we tend to work on and it's really easy to neglect your OSS work. So, I created Gitbar to make daily public contributions a habit. Gitbar is a OSX Menu Bar utility that shows your daily Github stats, streaks, and contributions. You can even set goals.
Oh yeah I love that! Good to know, I was thinking of expanding the different fields a bit more. People have also mentioned wanting to know if they got any new stars on their repos.
