Pixeebot – a GitHub App that fixes your Sonar findings (Java/Python)

We made a bot, built on an [open source framework](https://codemodder.io), that fixes the problems Sonar (and others!) find in your code. Here are a handful of examples of pixeebot fixing Sonar findings on some OSS code: https://github.com/nahsra/cql-evaluator-fork/pull/1/files https://github.com/nahsra/bsights-engine-spark-fork/pull/1/f... https://github.com/pixee/pygoat/pull/2/files The changes aren't all super fancy, but we're orienting towards solving real problems and…

Pixeebot – a GitHub App that fixes your Sonar findings (Java/Python) launched on March 25, 2024 with 10 votes, #1,633 of 4,270 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.

In plain words

Pixeebot is a GitHub App that automatically fixes code issues detected by Sonar in Java and Python repositories. Built on an open-source framework, it addresses around 25 common Sonar findings and additional security problems by generating pull requests with corrections. The bot targets developers who want to remediate compliance issues and reduce manual remediation work, handling routine security fixes that code scanning tools identify.

From the sources

Secure software factories. Pixee automates vulnerability triage and remediation across your scanners: 95% false positive reduction, 76% developer merge rate.

Code stopped being the bottleneck. Trust became one. Every sprint widens the gap. Enterprises can't clear what they already have. Output keeps rising. The window between discovery and weaponization has collapsed. Manual response can't keep pace. Reactive correction. Proactive design. One compounding loop. Pixee VulnOps proves what's actually exploitable and ships changes your developers merge. Foresight catches design flaws before a single line gets written. Pixee reads your codebase, security policies, and architecture. It knows what runs, what's reachable, and what's exposed. Most findings are noise. Pixee traces real execution paths to prove exploitability, removing up to 95% of false…from pixee.ai

    Hi HN, We’re Brendan and Michael, the creators of Sourcebot (https://github.com/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot). Sourcebot is an open-source code search tool that allows you to quickly search across many large codebases. Check out our demo video here: https://youtu.be/mrIFYSB_1F4, or try it for yourself on our demo site here: https://demo.sourcebot.dev While at prior roles, we’ve both felt the pain of searching across hundreds of multi-million line codebases. Using local tools like grep were ill-suited since you often only had a handful of codebases…

    Hi 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…
