Make the app frictionless #17

The actual workflow is nice but the current state of the app requires the user to provide a GitHub token, which could deter some potencial users from using the app given that it's an extra annoying step. There should be a way to generate the token ourselves.

For instance, the command line app gh when logging in for the first time, it prints a number and ask the user to go to a certain URL printed in the terminal (or maybe it actually opens the browser with that URL). Then the user enters that number on that URL and accepts the "paring" of the gh app with their GitHub account (actually it authorizes the gh app to their GItHub account). And when that happens, the gh app automatically responds that the user logged in successfully (and of course, stores somewhere in the filesystem the token).

We need a similar workflow for our app. Investigate this workflow and try to incorporate it in the app.
