Description

@MarshallOfSound very well analyzed:

From the looks of it, the cache expires every 15 minutes, that means we have a maximum number of apps as 1250 (5000 rate limit / 4 requests per hour). According to apps-using-electron at the time of that packes generation (a while ago) there were 13455 repos on github that used Electron as a dependency. That number is probably way up now so we're probably gonna need a SUPER TOKEN from GH 😉 @zeke

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current caching logic and rate limit handling. Consider implementing a persistent cache or obtaining a GitHub API token with higher rate limits to accommodate the growing number of Electron apps.
