Handling GitHub API Token Revocation in devlog-ist/landing

The devlog-ist/landing project helps users track their development activity. We recently improved how the application handles revoked or expired GitHub API tokens. Previously, a 401 error would trigger a generic error log and continuous retry attempts during data synchronization. This led to unnecessary server load and delayed data updates.

Now, when a 401 error (Bad Credentials) is received from the GitHub API, the application takes a more proactive approach. It recognizes that the stored token is invalid and immediately clears it from the system. More importantly, the user is notified directly via the integrations page, prompting them to reconnect their GitHub account and generate a new token. This ensures that users are aware of the issue and can quickly restore data synchronization.

This change improves the user experience by providing clear feedback and guidance when authentication fails. It also optimizes server performance by preventing unnecessary API retries with invalid credentials. Check the full article for details!
