Hey HN,
Got tired of how bloated GitHub became- copilot everywhere, janky JS, slow loads. So I built GitClassic, a read-only GitHub interface that's pure server-rendered HTML, kind of like old.reddit.com. No JavaScript.
Try it: https://gitclassic.com
Browse any public repo, files, READMEs. Loads instantly, works on any connection. No account needed for public repos.
Stack: Node on Lambda, server-side rendering, cached against GitHub's API. Pro adds private repo access via GitHub OAuth.
Built this in about 3 hours. Would love feedback on what's missing or broken. Issues are next.
Thanks, Chris
