Hi HN,I’m experimenting with commit-based code review as an alternative to PR-based review.Instead of analyzing large PR diffs, this reviews each commit incrementally, while context is still fresh. It’s fully configurable and intentionally low-noise, high signal - focused on catching issues that tend to slip through and compound over time.The goal isn’t to replace CI or PR review, but to move some feedback earlier:risky changes hidden in small diffsarchitectural or consistency driftperformance or security footgunsHappy to answer questions
