GitHub Browser Extension Extension

Browser extension which builds upon GitHub.com.

This extensions main goal is to increase the usability of GitHub. All of the functionality additions can be seen and used at the issues tab on any of their repositories. It is jam packed with additional features which GitHub does not provide.
For example:
It produces a ScrumBoard which allows a development team and project manager manage issues more closely by assigning them into pipelines
It has the ability to track issue description history and display who changed it
Allows the repository owner to allow team members to view this issue history on a given issue
Allows the repository owner to delete the issue history which they no longer need
Gives quick access to a slide in partial ScrumBoard for easy update of issues pipelines
Real-time update of the activity on all repositories the user owns in the pop up window
The user can also donate to the project in the pop up window :)
