GitClassic.com, a fast, lightweight GitHub thin client (pages <14KB)

Hey HN, I posted GitClassic here 2 months ago- since then I've rebuilt most of it based on what people asked for. https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitclassic.com What's new: Issues, PRs w&#x2F; full diffs, repo intelligence (health scores, dependency graphs), trending&#x2F;explore, bookmarks, comparison tool, and advanced search.

In plain words

GitClassic.com is a lightweight GitHub client that displays repositories, issues, pull requests with full diffs, and advanced search functionality through server-rendered HTML pages under 14KB each. Built for developers who want fast GitHub browsing without heavy JavaScript frameworks, it works with public repositories without authentication and offers private repo access through a paid tier via GitHub OAuth. The tool stands out for its minimal page size and performance focus, using Hono on Lambda with quick load times and no client-side bundle bloat.

    Hey HN - today I’m launching GitHired. A hiring platform that ranks developers based on what they actually build — not what they claim on a PDF. It’s called GitHired, and here’s the core idea: GitHub > Resumes Instead of trusting “proficient in React” bullet points, we analyze a candidate’s actual GitHub: their real tech stack their most complex projects how active they are what kinds of contributions they make which skills match your job description and yes, we detect fake “green square farming.” Why we built this Because engineering hiring is broken. Resumes are inflated. Activity charts…

  • GitHits beta 0.9Jun 2026 · githits.com · ▲181

    It has been almost 10 years since I started the opencv-python packaging project. Scaling it to more than 100 million downloads as a side project showed me how much ease of installation and proper package distribution matter to users. It gave the computer vision ecosystem a noticeable boost. Now I have a new idea that I hope can help even more people across the broader software engineering world. A while ago, I realized I kept giving the same advice to teammates and friends when they ran into a programming issue they couldn't easily solve: go to GitHub and look at how others solved it. There…

  • I made a heatmap diff viewer for code reviewsOct 2025 · 0github.com · ▲265

    0github.com is a pull request viewer that color-codes every diff line&#x2F;token by how much human attention it probably needs. Unlike PR-review bots, we try to flag not just by "is it a bug?" but by "is it worth a second look?" (examples: hard-coded secret, weird crypto mode, gnarly logic, ugly code). To try it, replace github.com with 0github.com in any pull-request URL. Under the hood, we split the PR into individual files, and for each file, we ask an LLM to annotate each line with a data structure that we parse into a colored heatmap. Examples:…

    Hi 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…
