Github api lock out for users with large following lists #36

I've run into a few issues with the app freezing and then refusing to start while testing users with large following lists (500+ users). This is mostly due to the fact that I'm disabling the caching system while testing. It might be worth while to ensure that it fails more gracefully or enforce an API call limit timer to ensure it doesn't happen to users.

The whole problem is that we can't fetch a single ordered page... I think for now we'll just have to paginate it...
