Automating +1 data points for updated GitHub issues

I wanted to play with val.town and Beeminder provided the case :nerd_face:

Take a look! Give it a try!

For now it’ll just get all issues of a repository. So if you e.g. have a repository that should feed into two goals, that’ll be tricky.

val.town has some social features, so you can “remix” (similar to forking on GitHub) your own solution for that, if that’s useful for you :slight_smile:

(I’m pretty impressed by val.town, without any affiliation :wink: I think it already has become the go-to tool for deploying JavaScript code for me.)

did you know the github integration tracks issues? i guess it doesn’t get all issues, only the ones that are assigned to you. And maybe it only counts them once they’re closed, and not updated? i don’t think our github minding is very robust to different ways of using gissues, now that i’m saying this out loud…

Yeah, this gave me the impression it wouldn’t work with updates on issues :slight_smile:

Now updated (v61 val, source) to update the goal for an issue once per day.
