A jQuery plugin for displaying GitHub user activity in a handsome little widget
- Requires jQuery 1.8 or later
- Uses the GitHub Events API v3
- Displays all available activity (not just the first page)
- Uses conditional requests to save bandwidth
- Rate-limits itself by respecting the X-Poll-Interval response header
GUAW checks for the presence of date libraries such as Moment.js or the jQuery timeago plugin and if it finds one will use it to display fuzzy relative dates. If no date library is found it will fall back to the US-centric date format of month-day-year
