Octotree, the missing GitHub tree view▲7
I started this as a weekend project and posted it on HN 5 years ago. 300,000 users later, I just released v4 today. Octotree [1] gives GitHub a sidebar that improves file navigation and code/pull request review. Works on Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari. Any comment or feedback is appreciated.

Octotree now supports GitLab▲10
I built Octotree a while back [1]. It's an open-source browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari) that adds IDE-like tree view to GitHub. Due to popular request, GitLab is now also supported. Hopes you will find it useful. Link to install: https://github.com/buunguyen/octotree#install-on-chrome-firefox-and-opera.

SimRepo▲275
I built SimRepo, a browser extension that adds a “Similar Repositories” panel directly into GitHub repo pages (for repos with 150+ stars). It's useful for discovering related projects while browsing. It's based on a vectorized model trained on GitHub star data. Repo: https://github.com/Mubelotix/SimRepo Chrome/Firefox support, no tracking, fully open source. Would love feedback on the recommendation quality or UX!
