Better Hub – A better GitHub experience
Hey HN, I’m Bereket, founder of Better Auth. Our team spends a huge amount of time on GitHub every day. Like anyone who’s spent enough time there, I’ve always wished for a much better GitHub experience. I’ve asked a lot of people to do something about it, but it seems like no one is really tackling GitHub directly. A couple of weeks ago, I saw a tweet from Mitchell (HashiCorp) complaining about the repo main page. That became the trigger. I decided to start hacking on a prototype to see how far I could push an alternative interface using GitHub’s APIs. Within a week, I genuinely started…

In plain words
Better Hub is a redesigned GitHub interface that uses GitHub's APIs to provide an alternative experience for developers. It reimagines the repository homepage, pull request review flow, and overview pages with a focus on reducing noise and improving navigation. The tool is built for developers and teams who spend significant time on GitHub and want a faster, clearer interface for their daily workflow.

- GAGitdot – A better GitHub. Open-source, written in RustJun 2026 · gitdot.io · ▲334
What works now: user signups, org creations, private/public repos, and importing GitHub repositories (both as read-only mirrors and full migrations). So basically, you can create, push and pull to a repo, but we don't have many features quite yet (issues, PRs, CI). What is a bit unique is: 1) we built it in Rust and 2) the website is a little odd. Its design is inspired by CLIs (e.g., fzf, broot, vim) instead of web apps, and as such, lacks some affordances that you might typically expect in favor of keyboard-driven instant navigations (we have the very ambitious goal of an FCP of…
JSON Query2015 · satishmaha.com · ▲152On a recent screen share with our designer at my FT job, I watched as our designer struggled with checking out a repository. It was painful because existing Git clients are confusing and nearly user hostile. Us software engineers are used to Git and terrible UX, but it shouldn't have to be that way. So, I wanted to make something better. Been working on this one for a while now, and while it's still very early stages, it's stable enough that I feel comfortable sharing it with the world :) I wanted a few things to be really easy and clear: - Merging between branches is explained before you do…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
