Practical notes on GitHub tokens, Mac desktop widgets and keeping up with review requests. Each one is useful whether or not you use Morning Board.

• A read-only GitHub token for a dashboard

  Which fine-grained token permissions a PR and CI dashboard actually needs, why none of them are write permissions, and what to do when a work organization has to approve it.

• How to put a widget on the Mac desktop

  Desktop widgets arrived in macOS Sonoma. Where the widget gallery is, how sizes work, and how to run two copies of the same widget with different settings.

• Every way to see what is waiting for your review

  The GitHub search that lists your review requests, the gh command that does the same in a terminal, and what notifications miss. Useful whether or not you install anything.
