What is IssueVista?

IssueVista helps developers discover contribution-ready GitHub issues by filtering for:

• Open issues with no assignee
• Issues without linked pull requests (with token)
• Easy-to-start issues with zero comments

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/VibeTensor/IssueVista.git
cd IssueVista
npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:4321

Usage

Without Token (Quick Search)

1. Paste any GitHub repo URL
2. Click "Find Issues"
3. Browse unassigned issues

Rate limit: 60 requests/hour

With GitHub Token (Recommended)

1. Generate a token with public_repo scope
2. Paste token in the app
3. Get full PR filtering + 5000 requests/hour

Tokens are stored locally in your browser only, never sent to any server except GitHub's API.
