    I've worked at several companies during the past two decades and I kept encountering the same issues with internal technical proposals: - Authors would change a spec after I started writing code - It's hard to find what proposals would benefit from my review - It's hard to find the right person to review my proposals - It's not always obvious if a proposal has reached consensus (e.g. buried comments) - I'm not notified if a proposal I approved is now ready to be worked on And that's just scratching the surface.

    It's inspired by this comment I made: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26599746. I actually saw several comments with HTTP URL posted, and that was the only one I bothered to comment on. So I thought that this is something better suited for bots than human. I hacked this together over yesterday and today: https://github.com/fishy/https-bot. Basically it uses the Firebase API (https://github.com/HackerNews/API) to find comments with HTTP URLs in them, try the HTTPS version, compare the contents, post back a comment if the contents are…
