Looks pretty neat. I went to signup, but then noticed that they require commit access to my public repos. Why do you need this permission to integrate links to the code and similar features? I don't like giving out commit access unless absolutely necessary.

Hmmm, we shouldn't need that. Will take a look. You can always signup and then revoke the access if you're not comfortable.

Thanks for pointing out.

That's the default lowest level of oAuth access and it's just read-only.
