A fast, server-rendered interface for GitHub pull requests.
Why it exists
GitHub's PR page is slow. Sometimes it takes forever to load.
This is a server-rendered alternative that loads pull requests immediately.
What you get
- Static rendering - Server-rendered HTML that shows up instantly, every time. No client-side hydration.
- Fast for large diffs - Smart chunking and collapsible files. No waiting for the client to render thousands of lines.
- Control over updates - Get notified when PRs change, reload when you're ready. No surprise reflows.
- Works with GitHub - All comments, reviews, and merges sync through the GitHub API. Your workflow stays intact.
