Products that do what Code Review Lab – Practice spotting vulnerabilities in code does
I built Code Review Lab to help engineers practice secure code review skills. Many friends looking to switch into AppSec struggled with interview code review exercises. While there are great resources for other interview types, I couldn't find a good platform focused specifically on secure code review. The platform offers interactive challenges where you review actual vulnerable code snippets (Go, PHP, etc.) and identify the exact lines with security issues. Each challenge includes context about the application and hints to guide your learning.

We're a couple of software engineers who believe that to build great software you need to write good tests, but we also sympathise when engineers say things like: - "Writing tests was too time consuming on my tight schedule", or - "Unit tests don't catch enough bugs, so they're useless", or - "I've inherited a legacy code base without tests and have no idea where to start" To tackle this we're building Symbolica (https://www.symbolica.dev), a symbolic code executor [1], that lets you run your code for all possible inputs. This means you can do things like: - Assert properties about…

I strongly believe that every developer is a teacher and likewise. Every time you are asked to help someone else understand your code, you’ll always be grateful to be able to share your own knowledge with others. Explain Code App is the place you can make this happen! I am eager to hear your thoughts on what I have put together so far. Would love to hear your feedback! Let me know if there are any other features you would like for this site, I’m open for ideas and would love the community feedback. Here is the link: https://www.explaincode.app/

Hey HN! I’m Julien, the founder of Code Inspector, a platform that helps developers and managers produce better code and reduce technical debt. We would love to get some feedback from the Hacker News community. Our platform inspects code, looks for defects (security, vulnerability, design, performance, lack of documentation), automates code reviews and reports on team activity. You can customize violation alerts to reduce false positives. We currently support GitHub, Bitbucket and Gitlab. I’d love to hear your thoughts on what you would expect from such a platform (what you like, dislike)…

Hey HN. We're Mus and Isaac - creators of LightLayer. We've been outputting a ton more code since using agentic dev tools. It's been great. But we're starting to see a new bottleneck emerge that's no longer writing the actual code: reviewing code. We’d love to hear from folks here if they’re feeling the inertia of code reviews a lot more these days with the surge in development velocity. For us, it was the reason we decided to pivot what we were working on before, and go full-time on building a workspace aimed at bringing the code review experience up to speed for the AI era. To be clear:…

Hey! I have been building CoderScreen, an alternative to coding interview platforms. I thought it was an interesting product to build with the evolution with all the sandbox products coming our for code execution, as well as me never being satisfied with existing platforms. The current features are: - Live interviews for pair programming exercises - Assessments for async technical screening It is built on Cloudflare primitives such as Workers, Durable Objects for the multiplayer experience, Sandbox for the code execution. Would love to get feedback on the current product, as well as hear…

I created http://devtest.net as a weekend project, and I'm pretty proud of it from a technical and UI standpoint. The problem is, I've built this by myself in a bit of a vacuum, to "scratch my own itch", and I don't know if this is useful to anyone other than me. I'm also not so hot on the business side and don't really know what I'm doing. Basically, I'm looking for some advice, now that I've actually launched, what now? One thing that this has shown me is that I'm capable of putting together a pretty decent web application on my own in my spare time. Should I stick with this idea, or…

Create a review as you would on pastebin, then any line in a review can be clicked to leave a comment. Comments appear under the line they reference and can be hidden by clicking the red tabs on the left or right. You can optionally toggle all comments by clicking the speech bubble at the top of the review. You don't have to have an account to create a review or leave a comment. I plan on adding multi-file reviews as well as version control access in the next few releases. After that I plan on making some IDE plugins to allow users to send code directly to the site via their IDE. Let me know…

I’ve spent the last 2.5 months building a product that runs LLM-powered code reviews on my pull requests — and I just launched it. The tool is built specifically for solo developers. You install it on your repo, trigger a scan by creating a pull request, and it leaves structured review comments using OpenAI under the hood. Funnily enough, I used the dev version of this app to review its own pull requests while building it. It helped me spot bugs, simplify structure, and keep quality high — all with minimal need for another human in the loop. Things I want to try out in the next months : -…
