    I've always wanted a better way to explore the authorship data embedded in a Git commit log. I'm having fun building a CLI tool to do this. It's a bit like the "Contributors" tab on Github that shows you how many commits each contributor has made but much faster and with many more options. If you get a chance to try it out, please let me know. I'd love to hear feedback and suggestions. Thank you!

    Built this after a recurring frustration at our agency: the team would agree on something in Slack ("only admins can export users"), someone would open a PR two weeks later that quietly broke it, and nobody caught it until QA or after deploy. Mo watches a Slack channel for decisions. When someone tags @mo to approve something, it stores it. When a PR opens, Mo checks the diff against the approved decisions and flags conflicts before merge. It doesn't review code quality. It only cares whether the code matches what the team actually agreed to. Would love feedback, especially from anyone who's…

    Too often I find myself being lazy with commit messages. But I don't want AI to write them for me... only i truly know why i wrote the code i did. So why don't i get AI to help me get that into words from my head? That's what i built: smartcommit asks you questions about your changes, then helps you articulate what you already know into a proper commit message. Captures the what, how, and why. Built this after repeatedly being confused 6 months in a project as to why i made the change i had made... Would love feedback!

    I've found it helps PR reviewers when they can look through a set of commits with clear messages and logically organized changes. Typically reviewers prefer a larger quantity of smaller changes versus a smaller quantity of larger changes. Sometimes it gets really messy to break up a change into sufficiently small PRs, so thoughtful commits are a great way of further subdividing changes in PRs. It can be pretty time consuming to do this though, so this tool automates the process with the help of AI. The tool sends the diff of your git branch against a base branch to an LLM provider. The LLM…

    We now write most of our code with agents. For a while, PRs piled up, causing review fatigue, and we had this sinking feeling that standards were slipping. Consistency is tough at this volume. I’m sharing the solution we found, which has become our main product. Continue (https://docs.continue.dev) runs AI checks on every PR. Each check is a source-controlled markdown file in `.continue/checks/` that shows up as a GitHub status check. They run as full agents, not just reading the diff, but able to read/write files, run bash commands, and use a browser. If it finds…

    Hi HN, I’m experimenting with commit-based code review as an alternative to PR-based review. Instead of analyzing large PR diffs, this reviews each commit incrementally, while context is still fresh. It’s fully configurable and intentionally low-noise, high signal - focused on catching issues that tend to slip through and compound over time. The goal isn’t to replace CI or PR review, but to move some feedback earlier: risky changes hidden in small diffs architectural or consistency drift performance or security footguns Happy to answer questions

    Code review conversations on GitHub can be frustratingly slow, now you can have them on Slack. Features: - Each pull request (PR) on GitHub creates a Slack channel (public or private) with all involved parties (creator, assignees, and reviewers). - An auto-generated summary in English of what the PR does, making it easier for reviewers to enter the context. - Notifications of workflow results, new commits, new approvals... are sent in the channel. - Code comments with context are available. The initial review still takes place on GitHub, but messages are then transferred to Slack for…
