CodeRev.app – Code Review as Interview
I've long had a dislike for leetcode interviews on both sides of the coin. Project-based interviews can also be challenging because it can end up filtering out folks who don't want to spend several hours building something in their free time. I met up with a friend last year -- a very senior dev -- who had taken some time off to study leetcode exercises while preparing for FAANG interviews. It struck me that one of the key measures of whether a candidate is a fit for a team is rather synthetic. CodeRev.app is a simple, lightweight tool that helps teams evaluate candidates using code reviews.…
CodeRev.app – Code Review as Interview launched on February 19, 2024 with 150 votes, #323 of 3,962 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
CodeRev.app is a tool for evaluating job candidates through code reviews instead of traditional leetcode or project-based interviews. It's designed for hiring teams who want to assess candidates based on real collaborative work—how they read code, provide feedback, and communicate—rather than synthetic coding challenges. The platform aims to reduce barriers to participation while giving a more authentic picture of a candidate's day-to-day working style.

Talanoa▲341Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
