I think this is a cool idea. I'm curious why it could't work like dependabot does though. Dependabot can scan my public repos and even create PRs from its own ephemeral forks without the overstepping of permissions that this needs.

Thank you for the tip! I will look at how dependabot does it

I would be more willing to try this if it was possible to host it myself. I get that you want to monetize this and that’s fair, but I am also not going to trust my code to a random online tool. Maybe I’ll give a bash at making something like this for my own use

I understand the concern. What would "hosting it yourself" look like for you?

Is it open source? I can hardly imagine giving access to my code to another service without a clear understanding what it does

It's not open source. Do you have any specific questions about what it does? I'm still working on how to better communicate this to users.

This is a deal breaker for many HN users, including me. Especially a piece of software with such privileges.

That would be a deal breaker when it comes to CI tools.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You're right, any suggestions for a better name are welcome!

I like Darwin - could easily move to CodeDarwin, GitDarwin, DarwinHub, AutoDarwin, etc. I think the urge to keep everything as one goofy name is overkill, and spread bc everyone wants their project to be as central as python. But there’s plenty of combo names - numpy, scikit, and github, off the top of my head. It does open up the semantic space by about 6 orders of magnitude, just counting English nouns. Obv I’m in…

Replying cause a real idea came to me in the shower: pick a more specific scientist! Wikipedia credits Turing (taken, obv), Forsyth, Cramer, and Koza as inventors of genetic programming, for instance.
