Hey HN! I built GitJin (gitjin.com) because GitHub's home feed was slowing me down. Too much clutter, too much scrolling, and I kept losing track of active PRs across multiple tabs.
The problem: GitHub's UI optimizes for discovery over productivity. When you need to quickly scan your repos, review PRs, or check issue status, you're stuck clicking through multiple pages.
How GitJin works:
- Single-screen view of all your repos, PRs, and issues
- GitHub-inspired interface (feels native, not another generic dashboard)
- CDN-optimized for sub-second load times
- Keyboard shortcuts and smart filters built for developer workflows
Technical details:
- Built with Next.js and TypeScript
- Server-side rendering for instant page loads
- Uses GitHub's GraphQL API for efficient data fetching
- Deployed on edge infrastructure for global performance
The goal isn't to replace GitHub—just to give developers a faster way to see what matters without the noise.
