IssueLens

A browser extension to easily filter out GitHub issues, offering powerful filters like 'Issues without linked PR' and more.

What it is

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.

Why I built it

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.
