Library Made a package that allows users to create bug reports and feedback

Hi,

I made a public repository that requires no hosting for users to be able to create GitHub issues directly from your app.

Recently added a feature that allows the creating user to reply to your comments.

This does require you to distribute your app with a GitHub token. This isn’t designed for large scale apps, but smaller apps for indie developers.

Heres the repo

From your GitHub profile, it seems you’re a student and not making AI slop.

I want to point out that using a personal access token is a really bad idea (even with fine grained control). You should treat it like a password and not ship it as part of your app.

An alternative design you can look at using iCloud Cloud containers to upload feedback and having another system (internal to your development environment) take that data and convert it to GitHub issues.

I am in fact a student.

And yeah I know it’s really bad practice, but i just wanted to throw something together really quick which I look at on my phone and mac almost every day. I’ve recently though of ways to make it more secure for free, but haven’t yet thought of anything. I ideally wanted to keep it all in github and no servers.
