Run scripts in macOS's notification center

UI improvements for the new GitHub Notifications page

Customizability
Today Scripts allows users to create and run their own scripts within the Today View of macOS, offering a high level of customization for personal workflows.
Efficiency
By integrating scripts into the Today View, users can access frequently used scripts rapidly without needing to open additional applications or interfaces.
Open Source
As an open-source project hosted on GitHub, Today Scripts benefits from community contributions and transparency, allowing users to modify and improve the tool based on their needs.
Lightweight
Today Scripts is designed to be a lightweight solution, adding minimal overhead to the system while providing enhanced functionality.

User-Friendliness
Users without programming experience may find it challenging to write and manage scripts, as the tool requires knowledge of scripting languages.
Compatibility
Today Scripts is specific to macOS, which limits its accessibility to users of other operating systems such as Windows or Linux.
Maintenance
As with many open-source projects, there may be a lack of regular updates or official support, which could pose issues for users seeking assistance or new features.
Security
Running custom scripts could potentially introduce security risks, especially if scripts are sourced from untrusted third parties or lack proper validation.

Improved Organization
Refined GitHub Notifications enhances the organization of notifications by categorizing them, making it easier to manage a large number of updates.
Custom Filters
The extension allows users to create custom filters to focus on the most relevant notifications, improving workflow efficiency.
Unsubscribe with Ease
Features include easy unsubscribe options from threads directly within the notification interface.
Enhanced User Interface
Modifies and improves the standard GitHub notification interface for better readability and user experience.
Increased Productivity
By providing better tools to manage notifications, it helps users stay focused on important tasks and increases productivity.

Browser Compatibility
As a Chrome extension, its functionality might be limited to users of the Chrome browser, excluding users of other browsers without similar support.
Learning Curve
New users might face a learning curve when initially setting up and customizing their notification preferences.
Dependence on Updates
Frequent updates or changes in GitHub's API can potentially disrupt the extension's functionality until it is updated accordingly.
Resource Usage
Running an additional extension may increase browser resource usage, which can be a concern for users with limited system resources.
Security Concerns
As with any browser extension, there are inherent security and privacy risks involved in allowing third-party software to interact with personal GitHub data.
