    Took a look and it took me quite a while to be able to figure out what the product did.

    My best guess is that it's a bot that integrates with git to improve code. But what I'd also want to know is what specific improvements it makes.

    As well as that, from a UI perspective, I would scale up the text content to make it more readable. On mobile I had to squint to make it out.

      Thanks for taking a look, your on point with what I have so far.
      I'm still at the exploration stage with what exactly would be the initial focus for code fixes.
      I'm building it in layers with information research, so I'm going to run broad checks on common code issues that could be improved by running available scanners like formatting, linting, security, complexity and similar.
      See what issues are popular, evaluate if they are also valuable (line/file too long for example isn't as much as deprecation updates let's say) and how much effort it would take to resolve.

      I'll play with the sizing on the next iteration, it's basically a screenshot from GitHub as is besides the bot image

        Sounds useful.

        One thing you're probably aware of this (but should know in case you aren't) is that a few weeks ago Github started offering linters etc. (here, I believe: https://github.com/github/super-linter) so your product will need to complement whatever their offering does.

          Thanks, I bumped into it and tested it for using it internally, it's a collection of linters with one run, done long before by code climate due differently, it's cute and simple.

          What I want to accomplish is the next level, I use these for my research, but my offer is to solve the issues for you not just tell you about them.
