Products that do what Get paid to get ephemeral environments for every PR (Livecycle.io) does
We've build a front-end dev tools platform called Livecycle - https://livecycle.io/. Livecycle lets dev teams review code faster by enabling them to collaborating on top of ephemeral environments. Livecycle creates a live preview environment "playground" for every PR. Collaborators (both technical and non-technical) can join the playground, review and leave comments on top of the preview environment itself. Comments are also synced to Git, making the code reviews faster and feedback clearer. And since all reviews (even the less-technical ones) are done instantly and…

Hi HN! This is Assaf, Matan, and Yshay from https://livecycle.io/ Livecycle enables dev teams to collaborate and comment in context, on top of any preview environment. Using Livecycle, developers get clear feedback earlier in the release cycle leading to higher-quality products, a faster release cadence, and fewer context switches and misunderstandings. Livecycle builds and pushes a dev-like environment for every branch in your repo (or, if you prefer, you can bring your own environments). Any containerized application will work, and support for multiple containers via…

Hi HN, hunterbrooks and nbrad here from Ellipsis (https://www.ellipsis.dev). Ellipsis automatically reviews your PRs when opened and on each new commit. If you tag @ellipsis-dev in a comment, it can make changes to the PR (via direct commit or side PR) and answer questions, just like a human. Demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X61NGZpaNQA So far, we have dozens of open source projects and companies using Ellipsis. We seem to have landed in a kind of sweet spot where there’s a good match between the current capabilities of AI tools and the actual needs of…

Hey HN! I’m Nick, the founder of Visibly (https://visibly.dev). Visibly is a GitHub App and Chrome extension that makes code review more efficient, collaborative, and visible by enabling you to: - See review comment thread statuses so that you can quickly address each thread and focus your attention on the ones that actually require it - Indicate whether feedback is blocking or non-blocking so only crucial feedback blocks PR merge - Ensure all blocking review threads are addressed before merge via a status check - Track total active review time per reviewer so that you can…

Hey HN, Inspired by Vercel’s automated preview deployments, I built a GitHub Actions workflow that generates an Expo QR code per PR—so mobile previews are as easy as scanning a QR code. How it works: • Every PR triggers a GitHub Action • The action starts an Expo server • It posts a QR code in the PR comments for instant testing on mobile No more manually starting Expo. No more copying links. Just open a PR and scan the code. Full guide here: https://torii.studio/guides/expo-qr-previews Would love to get feedback—how would you improve this workflow?

LiveCoder is a fun tool I built almost a year ago to simulate live coding Frontend technologies for my presentations. You actually don't have to live-code, but just prepare beforehand the program, snippets of HTML, CSS and Javascript and you feed the tool with it, so you can just focus on explaining what's being coded. Simple :-) I never really shared this tool, but I used it in a few presentations quite succesfully, so I think it could be an interesting tool to use. You have full control of the speed. You can pause and resume... An entire app can be live-coded with this. It's quite fun to…
