Description
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

Could you build this?
Yes A developer can easily vibe-code a GitHub Action or webhook listener that inspects diffs commit-by-commit and sends prompts to an LLM API to post inline review comments.
