Big tech companies have internal tools that they use to make code review easier. Planar (YC W23) is a free chrome extension that adds these features to GitHub.<p>Features include:
- A new review page UX that uses AI to group together related changes in a large PR
- An inbox that shows you which PRs need your review across all your repos
- A layout that puts comments side by side with code<p>With more features coming soon …
- Ability to easily view and navigate stacked PRs
- Macros / GIF responses
- A visual dependency graph that shows you how all the files and components in your PR are connected<p>We realized that most developers don't want an additional tool, so we designed the tool as a chrome extension that adds all of these features natively to GitHub.<p>Check it out and let us know what you think!
Wow this looks really nice! The AI-grouped (and described) file changes is something I have never seen before, and I thought I'd seen everything in code review.<p>A lot of what you're doing is similar to what I've been trying to achieve with CodeApprove (<a href="https://codeapprove.com" rel="nofollow">https://codeapprove.com</a>) which brings Google's code review workflow (Critique) to everyone using GitHub. It's not doing any of the AI stuff, just focusing on conversation resolution, managing assignment, and giving a much more "power user" UX to the whole thing.<p>If you ever want to chat about code review, just shoot me an email.
