🙋‍♂️ want a zero-config backup of your github repos and think @tangled.org is pretty cool? then synchub.to is for you! 👉 it's a github app that automatically syncs your public github repos to tangled ✨ let me know what you think! 🙏

Sounds awesome - unfortunately I cannot allow it to "act on my behalf" - maybe there could be another way to prove I have control over the org? Like a manual verification.

unfortunately 'act on your behalf' is just the way github describes this. the only permissions synchub.to _asks_ for are repository contents + webhooks for repo events

Damn - still cannot use it then - as I see no guarantee the app does not act in other ways on my behalf.

looking into it more, we actually request NO permissions at this stage; this is just bad ui. here's the code that builds the callback url tangled.org/danielroe.de... I'll add some explanation, but I think we need this to link tangled <> github accounts. 🤷
