Throw an error if `INTERVAL` env variable is below 1 minute about hazel HOT 6 OPEN

Check the INTERVAL env variable here. What we can do is throw an error if people chose a lower interval than 1m or 2m (60 reqs per hour are allowed).

So.. unauthenticated requests then, right?

@zeke Correct. All unauthenticated. That's what makes Hazel so fast and powerful: It only abstracts the necessary. If you need server-side caching / private repos, there's Nuts... 😊

I see. So hazel will only make a request to the GitHub API every INTERVAL minute(s), even though apps will be asking hazel for that info much more frequently.

Does every Now app get its own IP address?

Correct.

Depends. Sometimes they're on the same IP.

I ask because unauthenticated GitHub API requests are tallied by IP. It might be worth defaulting to a longer interval to reduce the likelihood of contention across apps.
