Arian81··on Show HN: We made a blazing-fast, open-source GitHub front end
This was made for a hackathon, we were going to have pr resolving features which requires write access. At current state you're right the write access is not required but we're adding features that require write access very soon.

This was a hackathon project so we prioritized core features. We're going to add more features soon.

I looked at the gothub, I'm not fully sure their approach but if they're just scraping the data you hit rate limits pretty fast and you'd have to use proxies. They also don't seem to have full feature parity with Github which is our end goal.

In terms of self-hosting we will add instruction but our vision is mostly people using our hosted version. A lot of the optimization comes from the caching.

yes because this was made for a hackathon, but we're working on adding no sign in viewing for public repos as well.
