I got fed up with endless PR reviews and the constant fear of missing a security bug, so I built Shieldcode. What it does: - Scans new pull requests for bugs and vulnerabilities automatically - Comments directly on GitHub with clear, actionable feedback - Works out of the box with no complex setup required Next up: NPM VScan, which will check your npm dependencies on every push for vulnerabilities or malware. I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback! https://shieldcode.space

Hey HN, it's Farrukh and Umar. We're building listen.dev–a tool for proactive security monitoring in GitHub Actions to secure software releases from supply chain threats.
