Offline-first GitHub caching and commit queuing for Tanzanian developers.
Tanzanian developers face unreliable internet connectivity with inconsistent speeds that disrupts access to cloud-based devtools like GitHub and AWS.
RepoHaven is a PWA that downloads and caches entire GitHub repos locally via service workers and IndexedDB, allowing full offline coding and git operations. Changes are queued in a local-first queue and auto-synced to GitHub when connectivity returns. It prioritizes low-bandwidth initial clones and delta syncs to work with spotty internet.
