Been working on a desktop app for Mac that helps developers comprehend a PR better with high-level walkthrough.(<a href="https://updates.priyank.ch/projects/2025/03/05/prototype-code-review.html" rel="nofollow">https://updates.priyank.ch/projects/2025/03/05/prototype-cod...</a>)<p>I find that context switching between PRs is hard due to the mental model I must develop for each PR. I usually find it helpful when the author sits with me and does a high-level walkthrough.<p>With the tool, you can load a specific diff or a diff against the main branch, and then the tool will generate a PR walkthrough.<p>Currently, the tool does the following:
- walks through key areas of a PR with a high-level explanation. Opens code and overlays sticky-note-style annotations.
- explains the code architecture with a structured mermaid diagram
- highlights areas the reviewer should look at closely<p>Looking for critical feedback. Thanks for trying it out!<p>Cheers, - Priyank & Arthur<p>Note: My previous post might have been shadow banned because it is a new domain. So re-posting as a text post.
