github-monitor is now forgewatch!

I rebranded my PR monitoring daemon. The old name locked it to a single platform, but the vision has always been broader than that. "forgewatch" better reflects what the app is really about: watching over your code forge, wherever it lives.

Why the rename? Two reasons:

1. It's more general. The architecture doesn't depend on GitHub specifically, and I want to grow it to support GitLab, Gitea, and other forges over time.
2. It's more descriptive. "forgewatch" tells you exactly what it does -- it watches your forge for pull requests and keeps you notified via D-Bus and desktop notifications on Linux.

The daemon is async Python, runs as a systemd user service, and comes with an optional system tray indicator. Give it a look if you're a Linux dev who juggles PRs across repos.

Tired of missing GitHub PR reviews? I built github-monitor -- a lightweight Linux daemon that watches for PRs assigned to you and sends desktop notifications the moment they land.

Features:
- Desktop notifications with author avatars via notify-send
- System tray indicator with live PR count and clickable PR list
- Runs quietly as a systemd user service -- set it and forget it
- Config reload on SIGHUP, graceful shutdown on SIGTERM

Under the hood:
- Pure async Python (asyncio) -- no threads, no blocking I/O
- aiohttp for GitHub API, dbus-next for session bus IPC
- Daemon exposes live state over D-Bus, indicator connects as a separate process
- Frozen dataclasses, strict mypy, full test coverage

Built with Python 3.13+, packaged with hatchling, managed with uv.

It's open source and I'd love feedback -- whether it's bug reports, feature ideas, or contributions!

J'avais regardé pour hacker ma machine à laver (non connectée, mais avec des trucs qui clignotent et des bips qui me les c*ssent !)
Besoin d'un analyseur logique, de record temps réel, etc
-Mouais...
Mais ces c*ns-là font des machines connectées avec du D-bus (comme ma caméra proprio PTZ que j'ai hackée avec accès ssh maintenu pour des commandes D-Bus, finalement passées via MQTT)
Bon bein : dont Hack ! (elle est bonne 🙂 )

I think I'm going to use sdbus instead of QtDBus because the API looks easier to use. Changing standard strings into QStrings and stuff like that is easy to do and I already do that a lot so I'm not worried. Instead of maintaining XML files for the interfaces though, I'm just going to document what the paths are and what types they expect since the "turning XML into code" thing confuses me and I'll wait to do that until I have to do stuff with wayland-scanner.
