About GitHub Desktop Notification

---- Updated to v1.4 on 07/29/2022 (changes are listed in the ↓update history) Clicking on a notification opens the above page in your browser and reloads the screen. Reduce the number of missed notifications and the stress of worrying about notifications. (I personally wanted to solve this problem, but there was no solution, so I made one.) The way it works is to fetch https://github.com/notifications with JavaScript, look at the DOM elements, check for updates & notify you. Therefore, there is no need for the extension to have login information, etc. We are not doing any strange communication, but we are disclosing the source code, so if you are concerned, please check the processing contents. (In case you find any problems, please contact us) https://github.com/hisw-29/github-desktop-notification *When you "Add to Chrome", you will be asked to confirm to allow the following, but we never intend to do anything that is not necessary for the above purposes.  Reading and modifying your data on github.com   →Read and modify your data on github.com  Reading browsing history   →I don't. (Why is it showing up...)  Displaying notifications   →I do this. (Only host_permissions is https://github.com/notifications is allowed) *We have confirmed the operation with the following macOS Monterey Windows 10 Ubuntu 20.04 *Update history v1.4: Added a process to display the latest check date and time and a cautionary note because JavaScript execution may stop when the PC is restarted, etc. v1.3: Minor bug fixes and wording correction, etc. v1.2: Correction of wording, etc. v1.1: Icon change and minor corrections v1.0: Initial release
