Hi HN, I built a small app for myself. I was drowning in GitHub notifications and needed a faster way to triage them and focus on what actually matters. So I built one. It's availa…

https://gitswipe.com/ A mobile app for triaging GitHub notifications in seconds. Available for iOS and Android starting next week.

Electron was originally named Atom Shell https://www.electronjs.org/blog/electron/ Atom Shell/Electron was from the very beginning something you could use separately from Atom as a…

This is not an alternative to GitHub but an alternative frontend. The backend is still GitHub.

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 experi…

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 you…

I don't remember clearly where we moved them. It was probably to something owned by Google (because GitHub uses Google Workspaces) or Microsoft (for obvious reasons).

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. T…

Very interesting article. It's impressive the engineering effort you are making here.

We simply haven't decided the price yet. It's free at this moment and we will decide a pricing based on how the service is used. Thanks for the feedback.

I was tired of wasting time looking for online tools all the time to pretty print a JSON to inspect it, encode/decode strings, convert from one markup language to another, checking…

Something like this? http://www.iron.io/worker

You can use http://backbeam.io It supports mobile-only development with SDKs for iOS and Android as well as web development and server-side logic. Disclaimer: I work in the company…

Currently we are using Redis to make the service as fast as possible. Redis gives us a lot of power to improve our query engine. More features on BQL (Backbeam Query Language) are …

Many thanks for your comments :)

Thank you. We will explain this somewhere. About the VAT and currency, at this moment we decide the currency based on your location. So if you are a EU-based company we will charge…

Some differences: - Rich control panel, rich data model and powerful query engine. You can make complex data models and then you can view/edit the data and their relationships easi…

Sorry for the typo. It's fixed now.
