octoscope v0.14.0 — Watching more, seeing more ⭐
Track any repo you care about, now with star history and release info
Four additions on the Repos surface that turn it from “your owned repos” into “every repo you care about, with the signals that matter”.
Star history sparkline ⭐
A 12-month star-history sparkline lands in the Repos drill-in: ASCII blocks ▁▂▃▄▅▆▇ over 52 weekly buckets, with empty weeks rendered as muted · ticks so the timeline stays continuous even on young repos. Footer reads +N in last 12mo · last star Xd ago. Fetched in parallel with the rest of the drill-in — no extra wait when you open a repo.
Latest release column
A new Release column on the Repos tab shows the most recent release tag plus its age (v1.2.3 · 3d). The s sort cycle gains a “release” entry. No extra round-trip — piggybacked onto the existing parallel CI query.
👀 Watched repos (external)
Add to your config:
watch_repos = [
"charmbracelet/bubbletea",
"cli/cli",
]…and octoscope renders a dedicated Watched section under the Repos tab, separated from your owned repos by a muted rule. Same row idiom — CI dot, language, stars, latest release column — but populated from the GraphQL API in parallel with the dashboard refresh. Bounded fan-out (cap 10) so a long config doesn’t burst-flood GitHub.
Theme fidelity — monochrome means monochrome
The monochrome, phosphor and amber themes used to leak external semantic colour (GitHub language palette, CI rollup green/red, Activity heatmap gradient) even though they explicitly promise zero chroma. This release closes that gap end-to-end: language bars rank-scale through the theme’s own palette, CI rollup uses distinct glyphs (✓ / ✕ / ⋯ / ·) instead of colour, the Activity heatmap routes through the theme’s gradient. The promise on the theme name finally means what it says.

What would you put in your watch_repos?
Curious if anyone uses it for “my team’s repos” vs “projects I follow personally” — the answer shapes what gets a dedicated card next.
