Very interesting! Thank you for sharing your project!!

However, in terms of some of the benefits you mention in the “motivations”, bandwidth, energy efficiency and CO2 might weak points: after all your server (backend) stays on 24/7 and it does all the heavy lifting anyway, doesn’t it? So you are not really saving bandwidth/energy/CO2… (unless - of course - you cache in “time” and “space” and reuse the search results for queries of yours and of other users).

Some of us may have a “portrait-oriejted” external monitor…

(GitKraken)[https://www.gitkraken.com/] is nice.

It is free “for solo developers working with local/public repos” (and free for all remaining cases, under (GitHub academic benefits)[https://education.github.com/]).
