User reviews

Works but unfortunately has no way to minimize or deactivate short of turning off the whole extension. Could have used more foresight. Will raise my rating if this functionality is added sometime in the relatively near future.

Works very well! Makes the tracking all of the issues in my github repos so much easier.
