Very nice, what features are you looking to add next?
I get the use-case for this application, however I don't think I would want to run another browser in the background as a 290MB toolbar app to be searching GitHub PRs and issues makes sense to me. As a native app, yes but something like Electron is overkill for this use case.

After all, I still have too many Electron apps running on my Macbook hitting my swap space while I use Chrome to browse the web, so I can't have yet another one doing the same thing.

Fair enough. To each their own. My MacBook is running 32gb of ram so I'm not as concerned over a few hundred mb. But noted.. I'll have to make one in native code for you.. ;)
