I suffer it and that’s why I’m building https://githero.app

Btw, I worked at GitHub for 3 years and they are very aware that slowness is a big issue throughout the whole product. There was a year long cross team effort to improve things but the main goals were not achieved IMO and it shows.

This looks pretty cool! Do you have a privacy policy?

Thanks!

Good question. I don't have now right now but I can prepare one soon. In any case I store zero information from users. When you are logged in traffic goes directly from your browser to GitHub.

FWIW, it's rendering white-on-white for me. Looks like it's missing unless you select-all.

What do you hope to offer that wouldn't be found in, say, GitLab?

[sdf4j]

GitLab is a completely different platform.

This comes to solve the problem of the terrible UX in the most widespread git service. I won't dare to try to convince my whole team, or company, to migrate to GitLab, but this can be easily adopted.

My main goal is to offer a more modern and smoother experience than GitHub, add some features on top of it like push notifications, triage of notifications, a better editing experience,… and integrate the desktop app with your local git

My point is that there are already many alternatives to GitHub, so you'll want to define your niche a bit better than that.

This is not an alternative to GitHub but an alternative frontend. The backend is still GitHub.
