Can we get details about the way this is implemented?

I assume you poll Github on some timescale? I noticed that Beeminder took around 24h to see my commits.

We are in fact polling using the GitHub API, but it should be hourly, not daily.

Right after I finished this we noticed that we could also do this with a post commit hook, so we're planning to implement that as well.
