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).

Is the “cloud” sustainable and scalable, in terms of energy and environmental demands?

(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/]).
