  • GitHub "Lines Viewed" extension to keep you sane reviewing long AI PRsFeb 2026 · chromewebstore.google.com · ▲40

    I was frustrated with how bad a signal of progress through a big PR "Files viewed" was, so I made a "Lines viewed" indicator to complement it. Designed to look like a stock Github UI element - even respects light/dark theme. Runs fully locally, no API calls. Splits insertions and deletions by default, but you can also merge them into a single "lines" figure in the settings.
