Hey Product Hunt! (thanks for hunting us @mwseibel )
Excited to launch Planar along with my co-makers @viraj_rai and @josephhan.
We built a chrome extension that supercharges code reviews in GitHub. It’s faster, easier, and more fun to use than GitHub’s native pull request UX.
Here’s why👇
💼 Improved code organization
Planar automatically ranks high priority changes to the top of your PR. It also makes it easier to follow along with the discussion by showing the comments side by side with code changes.
👏 Streamlined collaboration
Planar gives you a single inbox that tracks all the PRs that need your attention. Inside the PR, you can easily see the changes since your most recent review and also comment anywhere in the PR (even outside the changesets!).
💥 Stacked reviews
If you like chaining your work in multiple branches, we provide a native way to navigate these stacked PRs in GitHub.
🕺 GIFs
Celebrate big wins and keep reviews fun and timeless with a collection of GIFs.
Don’t worry about getting your whole team to use Planar - everything is written back to GitHub, ensuring your teammates see your reviews. Planar’s UX lives within GitHub itself — so there’s no need to switch over to a new platform.
Software engineers can spend up to a third of their time doing code review. We do it everyday yet no one enjoys it. A workflow this crucial should not have an experience this bad.
Want to get started? Click the link to download the extension, sign in with your GitHub account, and that’s it! The current version of the product is free to use, with a paid tier coming soon. Everyone who signs up this week will get 6 months of access to the paid tier for free.
Can’t wait to hear what you all think!
@anteloper Thanks Oliver! We're building a bunch of cool things next. One that we're really excited about is an auto-created file dependency graph that'll be added to your PR. It'll show you a visual map of how all the files in the PR are connected so you can have that birds eye view when reviewing changes. We can also start to rank the hunks in the PR based on this!
In general, having the right technical context to review a PR is hard for most people on a team. We think this can help solve it, excited to release it in the next few weeks!
Happy Planar user here — I love that Planar fits in seamlessly with my existing workflows instead of being a third-party site. It's a no brainer to use, an objectively better Github experience!
As a satisfied Planar user, I'm thrilled with how seamlessly it integrates into my existing GitHub workflows. It's not just another third-party site, but rather an essential tool that enhances the GitHub experience. It's a no-brainer to use and has undoubtedly elevated my productivity and collaboration on Pull Requests.
Highly recommended!
Thanks @atulacleaver! Love to hear the positive feedback!
