  • https://developer.github.com/v3/#increasing-the-unauthenticated-rate-limit-for-oauth-applications
  • https://developer.github.com/changes/2012-10-14-rate-limit-changes/

If this remains a problem I'm guessing we could contact Github to ask them to increase the limit but since these requests are done client-side there's no way for them to make sure it's Twiddle (and not some other app).

An alternative would be to use proxying over API gateway and include client secret which would drastically increase the limit.

Maybe just detect it's happening and tell the user to login? They get a much higher individual rate limit that way I believe

I had the same problem and fixed it by removing proxy declaration in ~.npmrc file.
