IssueLens

Overview

IssueLens is a productivity-focused browser extension designed to simplify GitHub issue management. It adds advanced filtering capabilities directly to the GitHub UI, allowing maintainers and contributors to quickly identify issues that need attention, such as those without linked pull requests, stale issues, or specific label combinations that GitHub's default search doesn't easily support.

The Motivation

As a frequent GitHub user, I found the default issue filtering options limited for certain workflows. Specifically, finding 'orphan' issues that haven't been addressed by a PR was surprisingly difficult. I built IssueLens to fill this gap and streamline the triage process for open-source maintainers.
