Terms of Service

Last updated: March 23, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Pickssue (https://pickssue.dev), a service that helps developers discover and track beginner-friendly GitHub issues across multiple repositories. Please read these Terms carefully before using our service.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Pickssue service ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the operators of Pickssue. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Description of Service

Pickssue is a web application that provides the following functionality:

  • Discovering beginner-friendly GitHub issues labeled with tags such as "good first issue", "help wanted", and similar labels
  • Tracking multiple GitHub repositories in a single dashboard
  • Filtering and sorting issues based on custom criteria
  • Browser notifications for new issues in tracked repositories
  • Cross-device synchronization of settings via cloud storage (requires GitHub authentication)
  • Support for multiple languages (English and Korean)

The Service may be used without a GitHub account, but certain features (settings sync, higher API rate limits) require GitHub OAuth authentication. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service at any time without prior notice.

3. GitHub Account and Authentication

3.1 GitHub Account

To use the full features of the Service, you may authenticate using your GitHub account. By doing so, you authorize us to access your GitHub profile information and to sync your settings via cloud storage on your behalf, as described in our Privacy Policy. You remain fully responsible for your GitHub account and all activity conducted through it.

3.2 OAuth Permissions

When you authenticate with GitHub, we request the minimum permissions necessary to provide the Service. We do not access, modify, or delete your GitHub repositories, code, or other content beyond what is expressly required for the Service features you choose to use.

3.3 Token Security

Your GitHub OAuth token is stored in your browser's localStorage. You are responsible for keeping your device and browser secure. You should revoke our application's access if you believe your token has been compromised. We are not liable for any unauthorized access resulting from your failure to maintain device security.

3.4 GitHub's Terms of Service

Your use of GitHub through our Service is also subject to GitHub's Terms of Service. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by GitHub, Inc.

4. User Responsibilities

By using the Service, you agree to:

4.1 Acceptable Use

  • Use the Service only for lawful purposes and in compliance with applicable laws
  • Not use the Service to abuse, harass, or harm others
  • Not attempt to circumvent, disable, or interfere with security features of the Service
  • Not use the Service to scrape, mine, or extract data in a manner that violates GitHub's terms of service
  • Not use the Service to send unsolicited communications or spam

4.2 Rate Limit Compliance

The Service uses the GitHub API, which enforces rate limits. You agree not to attempt to circumvent GitHub API rate limits or use the Service in ways that could cause excessive API requests. Unauthenticated use is subject to lower rate limits. Using GitHub OAuth authentication provides higher rate limits as per GitHub's official limits.

4.3 Accurate Information

If you provide any information in connection with using the Service, you agree that such information is accurate, current, and complete.

5. Intellectual Property

8. Third-Party Links and Services

The Service displays GitHub issues that contain links to external websites and resources. These links are provided for your convenience and informational purposes only. We have no control over the content of those sites and resources, and accept no responsibility for them or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them.

When you follow links to other websites or use third-party services integrated with ours, those websites and services have their own privacy policies and terms, which govern your use of those services. We encourage you to review those policies before using third-party services.

Our Service integrates with the following third-party services, each governed by their own terms:

  • GitHub: Repository data, issues, and OAuth authentication
  • Google AdSense: Advertising services
  • Vercel: Hosting and deployment platform

9. Advertising

The Service displays advertisements provided by Google AdSense to support the operation and maintenance of the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the presence of these advertisements.

Google AdSense may use cookies and similar technologies to serve personalized advertisements based on your interests. You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ad Settings. Non-personalized ads may still be shown even after opting out.

We do not control the content of advertisements displayed by Google AdSense and are not responsible for any products, services, or content advertised through the Service.

10. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will make reasonable efforts to provide notice, such as posting a prominent notice on the Service.

Your continued use of the Service after any changes to the Terms constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you should discontinue using the Service.

We also reserve the right to:

  • Modify or discontinue any features of the Service
  • Change pricing (currently free) with reasonable advance notice
  • Restrict access to certain features or the entire Service

11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation between the parties.

If a dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation, you agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts applicable to the service operator's location for resolution of any claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

12. Termination

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including if you breach these Terms.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. Since data is primarily stored client-side, you retain access to your locally stored data. However, you will no longer be able to use the Service's features.

You may terminate your use of the Service at any time by:

  • Logging out and clearing your browser's local storage
  • Revoking GitHub OAuth access from your GitHub account settings
  • Simply ceasing to use the Service
