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.

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

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.
