octoscope 0.8 — your GitHub TUI is now configurable, your way
octoscope is configurable now. v0.8 lands the configuration story we've been building toward — split across two patches but one product idea: octoscope should adapt to your habits, not the other way around.
Three things changed:
`~/.config/octoscope/config.toml`: set `refresh_interval`, hide private items by default with `public_only`, opt into a denser card layout with `compact`. CLI flags `--refresh 30s`, `--compact`, `--public-only` and `--config PATH` override the file when you want a one-off run.
In-app settings panel — press `,` (comma) while running and a panel opens: refresh interval, compact toggle, public-only toggle. Navigate with arrows, space flips toggles, type to edit refresh, Enter saves, Esc cancels. Changes apply live and persist back to your config file. The TUI is now its own settings UI; no need to drop to `$EDITOR ~/.config/octoscope/config.toml` mid-session.
`p` quick-toggle for public-only — the most "screenshot-relevant" switch deserves one key. Hit `p` from any tab and private repos / PRs / issues vanish instantly (or come back). A yellow `◐ public-only` badge sits next to `● authenticated` in the profile card so you always know which mode you're in. Useful when you want to demo octoscope to a colleague without flashing internal repo names.
There's also a notable architectural cleanup under the hood: the public-only filter moved from the fetch path to the render path. Toggling it doesn't cost a network round-trip anymore — the underlying GraphQL response always carries the full picture, and `Stats.Public()` produces a filtered copy on demand. That's why the toggle is instant.
Plus: the landing page (https://gfazioli.github.io/octoscope/) got a fixed glass nav with scroll-spy, a Mac-style title bar around the hero screenshot, and a dedicated Configuration section with a TOML snippet. Worth a look if you haven't visited recently.
Install / upgrade:
brew install gfazioli/tap/octoscopeor, if you already have it:
brew upgrade gfazioli/tap/octoscopeRun `octoscope`, press `,` for settings, `p` to toggle public-only.

Feedback welcome on GitHub Issues — the in-app panel was a direct response to feedback in the v0.7.x thread that "users shouldn't have to edit a config file just to slow down the refresh".
