What is FasterGH?

FasterGH is a fast GitHub mirror UI that uses Convex as a real-time cache and sync layer. Instead of hitting GitHub's API directly on every request, FasterGH maintains a low-latency read model in Convex that stays synchronized with GitHub as the source of truth. The result is a dramatically faster interface for browsing repositories, pull requests, and issues — without sacrificing accuracy or freshness.

Who it's for

• GitHub power users who spend hours each day navigating repos, PRs, and issues and want every click to feel instant
• Engineering teams that rely on GitHub for collaboration but are frustrated by slow page loads and API rate limits
• Open-source maintainers managing multiple repositories who need a fast, unified view of their project activity

Key features

Real-time mirrored data

FasterGH keeps a Convex-backed cache in sync with GitHub, so you're always seeing current data without waiting for GitHub's API to respond. The sync layer handles updates automatically, meaning your view refreshes as changes happen on GitHub.

Command palette navigation

A built-in command palette lets you navigate repositories, search issues and pull requests, and run quick repo actions without touching your mouse. This makes moving between tasks feel fluid and keyboard-driven.

Unified repository dashboard

All your repos, pull requests, and issues are surfaced in a single sidebar interface. You can see counts at a glance and jump directly to what needs attention — no more digging through GitHub's nested menus.

What stands out

"GitHub is the source of truth; Convex is the low-latency read model."

This architectural choice is what sets FasterGH apart. Instead of trying to replace GitHub or build yet another client, it treats GitHub as the authoritative backend and uses Convex purely as a performance layer. The result is a UI that feels local in speed while staying perfectly in sync with GitHub's data — no stale caches, no polling delays, no rate limit headaches.

Worth checking out if…

You live in GitHub's web UI and wish it were faster. FasterGH is especially compelling if you manage multiple repositories, frequently switch between issues and PRs, or find yourself waiting for pages to load during your daily workflow. It's also a smart choice for teams that want to reduce their dependency on GitHub's API rate limits without giving up real-time accuracy.
