About
I spend most of my day on GitHub, and at some point in 2025, I realized I was waiting 5+ seconds for a README to load.
I'm not on a slow connection. I have gigabit fiber. But modern GitHub ships tens of megabytes of JavaScript just to render markdown. My laptop fan spins up to read a file. There are AI popups everywhere. "Copilot can help!" No thanks.
So I built this. It's just a Lambda function that hits the GitHub API and returns HTML. No JavaScript. No tracking. No analytics. No cookies (except auth). Pages are typically under 50KB.
It's not trying to replace GitHub. You still need GitHub for PRs, issues, actions, all that. This is just for reading code – which is like 90% of what I do there anyway.
The deal:
- No JavaScript. HTML is a perfectly good document format.
- No tracking. I don't know who you are and I don't care.
- No AI anything. If I want AI help, I'll ask for it.
- Fast by default. If a page takes more than 500ms, it's a bug.
- $40/year for private repos. Gotta keep the lights on somehow.
