Looking forward to this working with Gitlab!

#12I wanted to give this a try, but it immediately asks for authority to "Act on your behalf" on GitHub. That's not something that I'm going to grant to an unfamiliar agent.
It would make a lot more sense to me if you provided a lighter "intro" version, even if that means it can only run on public repos.

#13Looks interesting, but I self host so it would have to work with plain Git URLs.

#14Does this work for cross-compiled projects as well? Do you only require code that's buildable on the host or also runnable? How would it behave for a firmware codebase?

We've run it on a few firmware repos and gotten good results. A lot of firmware code tends to have really poor type-safety which means lots of low-hanging bugs.
We should be able to handle cross-compilation. Want to try it? Ping me in any direct channel (dan@detail.dev / @danlovesproofs) and we can keep an eye on your repo.

#16On the landing page I see full names and pictures of customers but not any information about the founders and/or shareholders. I click on "about us" and "privacy" and "terms" and "trust center" and I cannot figure out: What is the name of the company, where is it located, who will be having access to my data. For a security-related startup if such information is missing it's a big red flag.
Also unfortunately the animation on the landing page makes the whole website quite slow.

Hi bflesch, fair point – our About Us page has a lot about what we think and not about... us!
I'm the founder. Previously I was at Heap for nine years. There's a company LinkedIn with the rest of the team: https://www.linkedin.com/company/detail-dev/
We're located in SF. The About Us page lists some of our angel investors at the bottom.
Regarding security in particular, there's a lot more info in our Trust Center: https://trust.detail.dev/
If anything else seems conspicuously missing, please flag. In all likelihood it's omitted without intent.
Re: Show HN: Detail, a Bug Finder
#18$30/committer/month, while only running scans biweekly, not even including "Enterprise" pricing, is really, really steep and will be a big barrier to adoption in larger enterprises with many engineers. You're basically asking enterprises to take the $30/committer/month pricing that they're spending on something like GitLab Premium, and double it, for bug reports? They may be great bug reports, but if it's difficult enough to get teams to merge automated MRs from tools like Dependabot/Renovate, what makes you so confident that a large enterprise customer will be so willing to add Another Tool that opens More MRs that require engineers to spend More Time Reviewing that may or may not have anything to do with shipping more features out the door?
Please consider a pricing model that's closer to bug bounties. There's clearly a working pricing model where companies are willing to pay bounties for discovered vulnerabilities. Your tool finds vulnerabilities (among other classes of bugs). Why not a pricing model where customers agree up-front to pay per bug your model finds? There are definitely some tricky parts to that model - you need an automated way of grading/scoring the bugs you find, since critical-severity bugs will be worth more (and be more interesting to customers) compared to low-severity bugs, and some customers will surely appeal some of the automatic scores - but could you make it work? Customers could then have more control over scaling up usage of Detail (adding slowly to more repositories), including capping how many bugs of each severity they would like reports for (to limit their spend), allowing customers to slowly add more repositories and run scans more frequently to find more bugs as they get more proven value from the tool.

Thanks for your reply. As I said, on your website there is no address, there is no legal entity name, there is no company registration number. You could sit in north korea for all I know.
Now I spotted in the last sentence of your "about us" that "We're based in SF". Oh and only now I see on the "terms" page has "15. Contact information qqbot, Inc 3624 16th St San Francisco, CA 94114 Email: support@detail.dev"
Why not put that address into the footer or add an imprint section to the website? It's such a quick win to establish trust. Also if guillermo rauch is an angel investor why mention him at the last sentence of the "about us" page and not in the middle of your landing page. Why did guillermo not post a testimonial that add to the landing page? Did he not like the product? Or did he not review the product?
PS: When I search for "qqbot" on kagi a lot of chinese-language results show up. Is the company affiliated with china?
Sorry for challenging you. I wish you good luck if your claims hold it is a worthwhile effort.

As far as we can tell this is a github-ism, and any OAuth permission is a form of "acting on your behalf": https://dappling.medium.com/a-github-app-would-like-to-act-o...
