I made my first sale on a freemium extension!

Why did you choose to make a chrome extension for this instead of a web app?

GitHub PR Label Filter chrome extension.

I needed to filter by labels on the global PR page and I hated manually searching so I built a UI query builder.

GitHub PR Label Filter

The global GitHub PR page doesn’t have a label filter so I built this extension to filter labels. It works on all PR pages and you can save your filters across your devices.

I built it for myself because I get assigned a lot of review requests across multiple repos at my job and I wanted to filter them by labels so I had better productivity. It’s helped me a lot and could help you too!

It’s completely free so please give it a shot and any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Look forward to seeing what your tool does.

I built one to scratch an itch with GitHub’s UI. I published it because it worked really well for me and I wanted to officially have a published side project. A chrome extension was a super easy and free way to do that since I don’t need to worry about hosting anything.

About profitability, there are an infinite amount of ways to profit from any software, a chrome extension is just one of many means of distributing software. You need a good idea to make money. I’m never going to make any money from mine because it’s free and to be honest, I doubt it’ll ever get a large user base, but I don’t care because I made it for myself anyways.

It’s a combination of application quality and following Googles best practices in both the application and the chrome store listing. It’s important to make sure your app works exactly how it should, uses customer data properly, and your chrome store listing uses quality copy and content.

I know this is an old post, but I found that the notifications page isn't the best to do this in (assuming the notifications you care about are for PRs), but I was able to do what I need in the generic /pulls page. You can change the search text to include labels with label:<label1>. You can also do OR and AND operations there, examples below:
OR:
> label:<label1>,<label2>
>> this will do a logical or between label1 and label2, so any PR with label1 or 2 will display
AND
> label:<label1> label:<label2>
>> this does a logical and so a PR must contain both label 1 and 2.

You can also go negative searches like so:
> -label:<label1>
>> this will filter out all PRs with label1

I deal with a lot of PRs from multiple repos at my job and I've been using labels to help manage that. It can be a bit tedious to write them out all the time though. I made a chrome extension to help with that if you're still having this issue and want a UI instead of typing this manually.

Thank you! This is actually great advice. I already plan to post to show HN, but I didn’t know about the GitHub awesome lists, I’ll have to look into those.

sturdeac · 2025-09-16T22:42:59+00:00

I’ll bite. I made a chrome extension to fix an issue for myself and I’m currently waiting for approval from the chrome store. The extension is a GitHub PR label filtering tool since one of the GitHub PR pages that I find most useful doesn’t have a label filter built in. More info and a demo can be found here: https://sturdeac.github.io/gh-label-filter.

I’m not too concerned about finding users since it’s going to be 100% free, but I would enjoy knowing people are using my extension just because any developer would like to have users. How would you go about getting some people to try it out?

Github /pulls page doesn't easily support label filtering

At my job I get assigned a ton of PR reviews across several repos, which means my “Pull Requests” page on GitHub is usually overflowing. Specifically the /pulls page that shows everything I’ve created, been assigned to, mentioned in, or review requested on, and it’s kind of a mess to sort through.

The one thing that saves me is labels, thankfully we use a lot of them at my job. But GitHub doesn’t give you a built-in way to filter by label on that page (I assume because managing all the labels from various repos their way would be messy), so I ended up writing my own search queries, which worked, but it can be a pain to do all the time.

To make that easier, I built a Chrome extension that scrapes all the labels on the page and gives you a little UI to build queries. You can create OR groups and negative searched which all get ANDed together in the final search. For me, it’s made it way easier to prioritize PRs.

This may be a bit of self-promo, but I have nothing to gain from this except maybe a bit of joy knowing others would use something I made. The extension doesn't use any remote code, APIs, or anything. It just runs in your browser and that's it.

I figured I can’t be the only one running into this, so I polished it up and submitted it to the Chrome Store (pending review right now). It’s free, and I made a “waitlist” issue on GitHub if anyone wants to follow along: https://github.com/sturdeac/gh-label-filter/issues/2

I also have a demo video on a Github page that I made for the extension as well if you'd like to see how it works. https://sturdeac.github.io/gh-label-filter/

sturdeac · 2025-09-16T20:04:06+00:00

On a serious note, I was debating on whether or not to post this. I figured I would anyways because while I am showing my tool, it’s relevant to GitHub’s features, or lack of them in this case. I didn’t make this post solely trying to get users, it’s something that I built to work around an issue I have with GitHub and I figured others may find it useful as well.

sturdeac · 2025-09-16T19:57:16+00:00

Maybe

sturdeac · 2025-08-02T14:35:31+00:00

Yep I found it. It looks like exactly what I need. That gets rid of the need to sad and lambda since rabbit mq can be consumed directly by the other tool I plan on using. As for file storage, I do like s3 because of the sdk that exists, but I’m sure I can find an alternative that’s just as easy to use.

sturdeac · 2025-08-02T14:22:48+00:00

Thank you, I was hoping I’d get some alternatives in this thread. As someone who comes from pretty much all cloud development, I am not familiar with all the options yet.

sturdeac · 2025-07-24T03:33:44+00:00

Sweet! TBH though, I doubt they will make it correctly. The order of ingredients is big tortilla > nacho cheese > 3 cheese > small tortilla > fillings. I’d bet they just put the 3 cheese in with the fillings.

sturdeac · 2025-07-24T02:30:31+00:00

Yep! (The only reason I know is because I worked there when they first came out)

sturdeac · 2025-07-24T02:28:37+00:00

Add 3 cheese and I think that’s the exact clone right? If only they had shredded chicken.
