FasterGH speeds GitHub with Convex mirror

The interesting part here is not the UI polish but the architecture choice: FasterGH treats GitHub like the canonical write path and Convex like the fast read model, which is a smart pattern for developer tools built on slow upstream platforms.

• –GitHub browsing does get sluggish on large repos, so a read-optimized mirror solves a real pain point instead of inventing a new workflow
• –Using Convex as the sync and cache layer suggests FasterGH is really a thin latency play, not a GitHub replacement
• –Open-source positioning helps the product feel more credible for developers who will want to inspect how sync, freshness, and auth are handled
• –The hard part will be matching GitHub’s long tail of features and edge cases closely enough that the speed boost outweighs any compatibility gaps
