Show HN: GitTok – TikTok but for interesting GitHub repos

from the show-hn dept.

I built this as a more productive alternative to my hours spent scrolling through twitter or reels. it's all client side code and has no back-end.

Very cool, I can see myself wasting lots of time on this. :D

It took me longer than I'd like to admit to find the "View" button. Maybe make the title of the repo a link as well?

Thanks. good advice i'll have a play around with placement and see what works. I notices on some phones the bottom can be cut off so need to fiddle around with that

Fun concept! Using the stars as likes (fork as share, etc) made me chuckle. Note: on mobile, it was tricky to scroll to the next item.
