Show HN: Makefaster.dev

A developer launched Makefaster.dev, a free wrapper tool that applies common frontend speed improvements to GitHub repositories, after spending roughly $10,000 in API costs running autoresearch loops on the top 200 GitHub repos with frontends. The tool distills the most common wins into a leaderboard and ties into existing Claude, Cursor, or Codex subscriptions, requiring no separate payment, and optionally asks users to submit their score and thinking trace at the end.

I had a bunch of extra Fable credits, so I spent around $10k in api costs doing autoresearch loops on the top 200 github repos with frontends. The goal was to speed up the frontend / improve the lighthouse score. I distilled the wins down into a leaderboard of most common improvements, then built a wrapper that iterates through them. It ties into your claude/cursor/codex subscriptions, so there's no subscription or payment - it should "just work" as long as you have a sub to one of those. It will ask you to submit your score / thinking trace at the end, but that's optional.
