I really like this idea. I think more tools should integrate into GitHub this way. The status API is nice, but you always have to click through to get the details.

I think you could do something similar with code analysis tools, so they make review comments in the code where issues occur.

This will get messy quickly if you have a PR that you are adding commits to and have a failure for each commit. This has the same problem as some code coverage solutions, they are spamming the PR with comments that are only important for a few moments, then they are just noise...

Speaking about finding test failures quickly though, Jenkins and many others (except ALL the cloud/SaaS solutions?) actually parse test results via junit or similar to show you failures easily. I'm wondering why more SaaS don't do this?

See an example here (for our js-ipfs project): https://ci.ipfs.team/blue/organizations/jenkins/IPFS%2Fjs-ip...

It's so much easier to find test failures now and doesn't involve leaving a comment on the PR. It's simply two clicks to find this view from a PR (click the status message, click on "tests")

Idea is great but this logo looks like evil douchebag kind of guy with this tagline "Not the bot you deserve, but the one you need" doesn't look great. You definitely need to work on your brand. :)

It's a Batman (The Dark Knight) reference: "He's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now"

Reminds me of vault boy[1] from Fallout but with a sneaky hat on.

Thanks for the feedback, the website and any part of the brand is open-source, so if you feel like contributing, you may start a discussion on GitHub or make a PR :)

Thanks, that's an awesome idea. :)
