Original Summary

Hi HN!<p>I&#x27;ve been working on this for the past few weeks. I&#x27;ve been using GitKraken for a whole 10 years now, and I&#x27;ve always loved it, but lately I&#x27;ve found it to be a bottleneck, and I haven&#x27;t seen it improve the features I really care about. So, as many others have done recently, I took a shot at using Opus 5.5 to help me build my dream Git GUI app.<p>I did take massive inspiration from GitKraken (the look and feel is a close match since it&#x27;s what I feel comfortable with) but everything is built from scratch. I made lots of different UX choices that I think help streamline things.<p>Most importantly, performance was the key thing to get right at the start. I daily-drive Linux so that was first. I went with Tauri to have a really fast Rust core, and after doing performance testing with WebKitGTK it wasn&#x27;t good enough. So I&#x27;m using Tauri&#x27;s v3 alpha with CEF (Chromium) which made it easy to get a butter smooth 60fps for scrolling a huge list of commits (whereas I would barely get 10fps in my large repo with GitKraken, with tons of hitching). Everything feels so much faster.<p>The website is best viewed on desktop, I included a fully functional web-only version of the app (mocked git and gitlab) so you can try it out!<p>Some cost numbers: ~16 billion tokens, ~$5.4k at API rates, 5.2 full weekly quotas (spread over two 5x plans), ~$120 of subsidized plan cost.
