Viewing profile — codeapprove

I made a competitor to GitHubs UI for Pull Requests (codeapprove.com) It’s built in Vue. My first 5 or 6 attempts at writing the diff viewer were very slow when things got big. I o…

Some others which are good: * Reviewable * Codestream (formerly GitContext) * Codelantis * CodeApprove (biased, obviously)

You would be surprised! I have encountered the attitude that code reviews are a waste of time. It's not common, and I have never seen this attitude "win" across a team/company but …

Shameless plug but since you asked ... CodeApprove ( https://codeapprove.com ) is probably the closest thing you can get to Critique on GitHub. It doesn't help with the Piper/CitC/…

I’m biased (I created https://codeapprove.com ) but I think GitHub has let code review lag so far behind the rest of the platform. They’ve done a lot of work on project management,…

I’d recommend CodePeer (formerly GitContext) which is one of the best human code review tools and recently expanded to offer AI review as well. https://codepeer.com/features/ai

Love the history here! I built a business (CodeApprove) around not liking GitHub's UI for code reviews and I still didn't know most of this. I will never understand why GitHub has …

Love the blog post, it's great to see people actually thinking about how code review should work! I've used four different code review systems extensively, all with different stren…

This is 100% true. For some reason GitHub has put very little love into code review even though the Pull Request is probably their most important flow. The good news is that many p…

Not affiliated with the project but you could use something like OpenRouter to give users a massive list of models to choose from with fairly minimal effort https://openrouter.ai/

Honestly that’s fair because GitHub is very good and probably too cheap. If they doubled their prices tomorrow I wouldn’t even consider leaving. What would you pay for CodeApprove?…

I was on a team at Google that used both Critique and GitHub very heavily, so I was able to constantly see the side-by-side and understand the pain engineers faced when doing exter…

Shameless but relevant plug: I built CodeApprove ( https://codeapprove.com ) to bring the best parts of the Critique workflow to GitHub PRs. Obviously there are many things that do…

Shameless but relevant plug: if you’re a Xoogler and you miss Critique check out CodeApprove ( https://codeapprove.com ). CodeApprove was built to make GitHub PRs a lot more appeal…

Actually you can’t comment on lines that haven’t been changed if they’re too far from the changed lines! It’s a weird limitation of GitHubs data model. (source: that’s one of the f…

Bias warning: I created CodeApprove to give GitHub reviews a better UI. GitHub PR review UI is … fine. But it has very little depth. Unlike an IDE it’s hard to grow into a power us…

CodeApprove does not have that feature because we don't currently do any smart code parsing to understand what would make a file "related". I think Viezly ( https://viezly.com/ ) d…

I agree 1000%. I’m the creator of what I believe is a better review interface for GitHub ( https://codeapprove.com ) but there are also many others: * CodeApprove (codeapprove.com)…

Yes yes yes! I am biased because I make/sell an alternative UI for GitHub code review ( https://codeapprove.com ) but I think most of us can agree that GitHub's tools for code revi…

This looks excellent! I really like the design and I fully agree with most of the problems you’re trying to solve. The biggest issue with code review tools is that we’re mostly all…

I love seeing projects like this! In general I have always been extremely impressed with the coverage of GitHub's APIs. They're generally well designed, well documented, and availa…

Shameless plug but if you're looking for an alternative UI for GitHub PRs, you may want to try CodeApprove ( https://codeapprove.com ) Frustrations with GitHub's PR performance, li…

Oh do you mean allowing the author to select the order? That's a very cool idea!

Thanks for the feedback! I definitely need to get over hating the sound of my own voice and record a demo video.
