An experiment in Aspire dashboard extensibility π
I recorded a quick demo showing how custom pages could work in the dashboard. Watch to the end. It starts simple and ends crazy π
Note: This is an experiment. No commitments (yet...)

I'm hiring product and AI engineers to work on the GitHub Copilot App.
If you're the right person to invent future of work, reach out to me with some proof.
If you work at GitHub/Microsoft and this sounds appealing to you, reach out to me internally with similar artifacts.

Did you know the new GitHub App can have custom sounds set of Session complete and Need input? Well, I have a Warcraft 2 Peon and the ICQ uh-oh.

drowning in low-quality PRs?
we're giving maintainers the power to set contribution limits, starting with a PR cap for outside contributors and an allowlist for your trusted ones.

When people complain about GitHub outages, I point to the fact that I'm daily reviewing PRs from profiles that have stuff like this in their history.
Like, this is just insane, this volume is insane, and I've seen it from countless profiles now.
ALT A snipped from a GitHub user profile that states "Opened 1,847 other pull requests in 61 repositories"

Next time GitHub is having an outage, someone remind me to launch it, probably forgot after a reboot of my computer.
