GitHub Live Activity Feed Screensaver
The GitHub Live Activity Feed screensaver streams real public GitHub events as they happen. It is free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the GitHub Live Activity Feed screensaver works
The saver reads real recent public events from GitHub's own Events API.
Each entry shows a real event type, repository name and actor.
The pipeline refreshes the feed regularly within GitHub's rate limits.
No key is required for this key-less public endpoint.
A worked example
A real push event to a real public repository scrolls past exactly as GitHub logged it moments earlier.
