Mergeable is an improved inbox for GitHub pull requests. They can be organized according to your rules into any number of sections, each section being defined as an arbitrary search query. Data is refreshed periodically, and is kept locally in the browser.

Mergeable is an open source project, which can be self-hosted very easily. A free public instance is also available to get started very quickly.

I like it! We made something very similar at work (a "dashboard" to keep track of review status for the team). Seems a missed opportunity to me that github doesn't have something similar.

There is definitely a need for this, great idea!

Looks like there is a TLS cert issue on the public instance, but I'll be sure to check back in a couple days and check it out.

Thanks for the kind words! What issue did you see exactly? And on which browser? It's possible the setup is not totally correct, I'm a still bit new to deploying on Cloudflare Workers.

Thank you! Yes, it's still surprising to me that GitHub does not seem to invest a lot in improving the code review tool... but that leaves plenty of opportunities for open source projects or SaaS to fill those gaps!

GitHub projects solves this for me.

I wanted to do something like this as a TUI, but was annoyed that the API for handling notification states was not available. I.e. you can't mark a PR as done and then actually search that status or detect it in the API results. That was somewhat annoying. I see this kinda side steps that by keeping state locally and doing a bunch of things to work out whether you're the next action... I like it :)

Thanks! If you are looking for a TUI, there is gh-dash (https://dlvhdr.github.io/gh-dash/) which seems quite popular.
