Great job! Unubo is an awesome interface for a potentially useful product!

A few notes: - Github permissions seem excessive. You require: - Personal user date: full access - Repos: public and private - Delete repos - Read and write Gists - Access to all available organization - Dropbox requires access to all my files rather than just an App folder (or a limited scope) - All of the above for Trello

I haven't tested the other apps, but I hope you can understand why I'm not willing to provide full read/write access to my code, Dropbox files and project management to a service that tracks their monthly bills. (Perhaps these are required to receive accounting info?)

Sadly these concerns have prevented me from tracking any apps as this level of access seems disproportional for the purpose of the tool.

Thanks for you feedback, really appreciate it. I definitely understand. We're currently reviewing the different apps and what access they really require to be useful. The last thing we want to do is scare people off, so again.. thanks for your input!
Thanks for your comment! We're currently working on a feature that allows you to manage various aspects of your apps, hence the full-access scopes, so for now, to reflect the level of access needed to display billing data, I've updated the scopes to minimum requirements for GitHub, Dropbox and Trello. Would be great if you could connect your apps and let us know your thoughts. Thanks!
Hi there, just letting you know we reworked the access the above apps require, whilst still remaining useful.

Feel free to try it out again.
