Github App that creates issue's out of TODO and FIXME comments

The app basically searches through a repo's source code and looks for occurrences of key words such as TODO and FIXME.

On finding these key words it creates a github issue titled with file name. eg TODOs from main.ts

The issues in that file are turned into a check list containing issue description with issue author (git committer).
