Show HN: I built GithubReader.org for better learning experience

https://githubreader.org/

Hey Guys, I created GithubReader.org (open-source, non-profit, most of the code is written by ChatGPT).

My motivation:

I wanted an easy way to keep a list of repositories I want to learn from and access them quickly. So, I built a search page where I can find repositories by name, like Google.

Also, I wanted a nicer way to read Markdown files on my laptop without the GitHub UI, like reading a book. So, I made a custom UI with a back button that takes you to the previous state without jumping pages.

The markdown links are sharable, e.g. https://githubreader.org/render?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com...

Repository URL: https://github.com/agdaily/github-reader/

The auto complete search is nice. I just found a repo (for linked-data) I wouldn't have otherwise.

ENH: search github labels with query patterns

Neat tool, thanks for sharing. It would be nice if the behavior of the anchor links in markdown was preserved. In the markdown example you provided[1] the anchor links don't appear to work.
