Looking for a few engineers to help test a lightweight PR review tool

Hey folks 👋

I’m building a lightweight tool that acts as a second pass on pull requests, helping with code review, testing signals, and other repetitive engineering checks, especially for individuals and small teams.

We’re at a stage where the product is ready, but instead of launching broadly, we want to learn directly from real engineers working on real code.

Right now, we’re looking for:

  1. Solo developers or small teams
  2. Active GitHub projects (public or private)
  3. People who use PRs regularly and move fast

This is not a pitch, and there’s no obligation. The goal is simply:

  1. You try it on a real PR
  2. We see what works, what doesn’t
  3. You give brutally honest feedback

If this sounds interesting, comment here, happy to share more context or answer questions.

Appreciate this community a lot, and excited to learn from you all.

    Totally agree real, thoughtful conversation is hard to replace.
    I ended up making a little Chrome extension called Pulse of Reddit that basically acts like my own alert system for Reddit. Anytime someone posts something with keywords I care about like 'looking for a designer' or 'best SEO tool' it pings me right away. It’s saved me so much time and helped me hop into threads while they’re still fresh.

    If you’re tired of manual digging and want to catch those conversations early, I’d really recommend giving it a look. It’s free to start and super simple to set up.

    Usage exchange?

    I will use your PR tool and give you feedback inside a Uclusion workspace. Currently I usually check in directly to https://github.com/Uclusion/uclusion_web_ui and our other private repos but can easily do PRs instead.

      Hey, Disrael, thanks for being open to this. I appreciate it!

      I’m building Hikaflow, a lightweight tool that helps founders and small teams by automating PR reviews and basic testing checks, so they don’t have to manually recheck everything while shipping.

      I am sharing a quick link: https://app.hikaflow.com, and you can try it on a real PR whenever it fits your workflow. I’d love honest feedback on what feels useful and what doesn’t.
