Definitely cool, but weren't you always able to comment inline on a PR?

The GIF shows "Start Review" button and "Finish your review" buttons (and a "Pending" flag), which makes me think this is more geared to the complaints that every comment sent an individual email instead of being batched when the reviewer was ready to send them out.

Edit: Indeed, from the github blog post - "You can also leave a review summary and delete, edit, or bundle comments before you submit them."

I'll be curious to see if they've made API granularity more sane.

We haven't been able to use any third party tools because our security people don't feel great about giving third parties write access to everything (including our source) for tools that don't need it. In the past, GitHub hasn't differentiated write access to issues (which many tools need) and write access to the source itself (which basically nothing should need).
