No room for debate—this is undoubtedly one of the best open-source projects of 2026. However, it’s still not very friendly to users in China. Below are optimization suggestions specifically aimed at improving the experience for Chinese users:

  1. GitHub access is extremely slow and unstable in mainland China, which severely impacts page loading and file downloads in GitHub Store. Some Chinese developers have created domestic GitHub mirror sites (though they typically only include popular repositories) and alternative download sources. We hope GitHub Store can offer built-in support for these mirrors—both for loading repository pages and downloading release files—specifically tailored for users in China.

  2. Most popular projects on GitHub Store have English-only descriptions. Although GitHub Store includes built-in Google Translate, Google services are inaccessible in mainland China without a proxy. Therefore, we hope GitHub Store can integrate alternative translation services that are directly accessible within China (e.g., Baidu Translate, Youdao Translate, or Tencent Translate).
