octoscope v0.9.0 β themes, dashboard polish, CRT afterglow
Hey Hunters! π
Quick update on octoscope, the terminal dashboard for your GitHub account. v0.9.0 just shipped and it's the biggest visual release since launch.
What's new:
π¨ 7 built-in themes β octoscope (default), high-contrast, terminal (matches your iTerm / Alacritty / kitty ANSI palette), monochrome, stranger-things, phosphor (80s CRT green), amber (IBM 5151 / WordStar). Switch via --theme NAME, the theme key in config.toml, or live with β / β in the in-app settings panel β instant, no reload.

β Stars + Forks card β fixes a long-standing GitHub stats blind spot: stars on your forked repos. GraphQL's default repo query excludes forks, so most stats tools undercount. octoscope now adds a fourth Activity card that surfaces the gap when it exists. On my own profile that was 31 stars hidden (601 β 632).
π Top repositories β a clean ranked column on Overview showing your 5 most-starred repos.
π PR summary box β Activity tab now reports "X% of N PRs merged Β· M still open" across all PRs you've ever authored. The Overview counters are also relabeled "(own)" so scope is unambiguous.
π Landing-page polish β new Themes section with a 3-slide carousel, CRT afterglow effects on the header/footer with layered phosphor glows and faded scanlines.
Try it:
brew install gfazioli/tap/octoscope
octoscope --theme phosphor

This is one of those tools where the polish actually is the product .The visual layer makes the data more engaging, not just prettier.
