  1. 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.
