Congrats on the launch, this looks really cool and I'll give it a try.

Just a quick note: the GitHub connect page asks whether it should index the private repos or not, but when I try to connect my account even after I disable it the oAuth page says that you'll be able to read and write to the private repositories, which seems to contradict with what I assumed I'd achieve by turning that flag off.

Thanks for reporting this! Sometimes apps support only "all or nothing" permissions (called "oauth2 scopes"), i.e. to request feature A from the app, we have to request features B and C too, because some scope enables A, B and C simultaneously.

But this particular GitHub case seems to be different. So it's fixed.
