octoscope v0.9.0 β€” themes, dashboard polish, CRT afterglow

Hey Hunters! πŸ‘‹

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:


🎨 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†’ in the in-app settings panel β€” instant, no reload.


⭐ 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).


πŸ† Top repositories β€” a clean ranked column on Overview showing your 5 most-starred repos.


πŸ“Š 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.


πŸŒƒ 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.
