I got tired of chasing reviewers. So I built PRBoard.
Two weeks ago I was sitting at my desk, copy-pasting the same Slack message for the third time that week.
"Hey, can you review this PR when you get a chance?"
Nobody responded. The PR sat there for another day. The feature was ready, the code was written, but nothing was moving because one review was pending, and I had no idea who was supposed to do it or if they had even seen it.
That was the moment I decided to just build the thing I actually needed.
PRBoard is a simple board that displays all open pull requests across your team. Who opened it, who needs to review it, and how long it has been waiting. No emails. No Slack pings. No chasing.
I have been building it for 10 days. It is rough around the edges, but it already solved my own problem, so I figured someone else probably has the same one.
If your team loses hours every week just trying to get PRs reviewed, I would love for you to try it.
This is exactly what happens on our team every single week. The PR is done but it just sits there waiting for someone to notice it. Bookmarking this.
Exactly that feeling. The worst part is everyone is busy, nobody is ignoring it on purpose, there is just no shared view of what is waiting. That is literally why I built this. Hope it saves your team some time, would love to hear how it goes.
