Visibly – More Collaborative and Efficient Code Reviews on GitHub

In plain words

Visibly is a GitHub App and Chrome extension that streamlines code review workflows by tracking comment thread statuses, distinguishing between blocking and non-blocking feedback, and ensuring all blocking threads are resolved before merge. It displays reviewer presence and active review time per person, helping teams understand effort distribution across pull requests. The tool includes a metrics dashboard for real-time performance insights, designed for development teams seeking more organized and transparent code review processes.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Visibly is a GitHub App and Chrome extension that makes code review more efficient, collaborative, and visible by enabling you to: - See review comment thread statuses so that you can quickly address each thread and focus your attention on the…

  Hey HN - today I’m launching GitHired. A hiring platform that ranks developers based on what they actually build — not what they claim on a PDF. It’s called GitHired, and here’s the core idea: GitHub > Resumes Instead of trusting “proficient in React” bullet points, we analyze a candidate’s actual GitHub: their real tech stack their most complex projects how active they are what kinds of contributions they make which skills match your job description and yes, we detect fake “green square farming.” Why we built this Because engineering hiring is broken. Resumes are inflated. Activity charts…

  Crocodile - Better code review for GitHub2022 · crocodile.dev · ▲144

  Hi HN! I've been working on a code review app for GitHub called Crocodile for about a year. I used to work at Microsoft where we used a tool called CodeFlow for reviewing code and I missed it after I left. I know many other ex-Microsoft engineers feel the same. Here are some of the distinguishing features of Crocodile that are inspired by CodeFlow: * Comments float above the code instead of being inline. Long discussions that are displayed inline make it really hard to review the code. * Comment on any text selection in the file, even a single character. * Comments don't get lost when code…

  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.

  Talanoa▲341

  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…

  Non.io, a Reddit-like platform Ive been working on for the last 4 years▲1,943

  Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…
