GitHub Notifier for Opera

Github is currently one of the world's most well-known repositories for software programs that are either in the development stage, or already released, and acts as a platform where all development stages of a program first appear and are discussed. Given that most users don't bother with the actual development part of a program's improvement and are mostly there to get the latest version available of whatever interests them (for free), it's no wonder you could miss out on whatever new things appear, given that development is quite active. As such, a solution to getting notified whenever a new change occurs in a program of interest could be hugely beneficial, and for Opera users, an excellent solution could be GitHub Notifier.

Like all add-ons for the Opera browser, GitHub Notifier tries to maintain itself as lightweight as possible and not become a hindrance for your overall browsing experience. This is something that is extremely useful, since the add-on seems almost undetectable, although it scans the GitHub repository every couple of minutes for new changes to programs of interest.

Although there are other solutions out there, such as using the GitHub proprietary app to get notifications, this add-on spares you the hassle of running an extra program in the background constantly, one that is also more resource intensive than an add-on. Not only that, but you also get notifications pushed to your Desktop, so you don't have to have a GitHub tab opened either to get the latest news.

The Opera version of GitHub Notifier acts in the same manner as all other versions, allowing you always to get note of the latest updates and discussions happening on GitHub regarding a program you like.
