JSS pods expose git smart-HTTP (src/handlers/git.js) — any pod is a git remote. A web frontend that takes a pod git URL and renders a GitHub-style UI (file tree, README, commits, branches) surfaces this capability and gives developers a recognizable on-ramp to hosting code on Solid.

Approach

Preact + HTM standalone (no build step) + isomorphic-git for browser-side git operations + hand-rolled GitHub-clone UI. Pure ESM modules imported from a CDN; single index.html deployable. Open source. No login required for public repos.

Rationale for no-build:

• ~10KB total vs ~140KB for React + bundler
• No node_modules, no build pipeline, no dependency churn
• Hostable as static files from any Solid pod (eats own dog food)
• Plain-source readable in 5 years without rebuilding
• Matches JSS's "minimal, fast" ethos

Hosting

jss.live/git/ (sub-path under existing brand; can migrate to dedicated subdomain like git.jss.live later if it grows).

Future scope (v2+)

• did:nostr signature display
• Optional git-mark verification badge
• HTTP 402 features for private repos
