Hi Everyone! 👋 In 2020 we set out to reimagine how code reviews work because so many developers told us they are unhappy with their existing solution. They told us: 😡 Code reviews happen too late in the process when reworking code is frustrating. 😡 Code reviews happen mostly on a website, like GitHub.com, causing too many context switches. 😡 Code reviews in web sites don't provide the environment and tools needed to work optimally. CodeStream Code Reviews change all that. It's now two clicks to request feedback on a Work-In-Progress, and by getting feedback early, you can course-correct leading to higher code quality. And it integrates seamlessly with your PR workflow, whether that's GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. 💯 Never leave your IDE to request or perform a code review. No more context switching from web to email to IDE back to web. Discussions during a code review stay attached to the code they refer to (even post-merge!) and are easily accessible to all teammates as a form of documentation. 🚀 CodeStream is backed by Y Combinator and the awesome guys at Brightstone, PJC, S28 as well as Eric Yuan (CEO of Zoom), Quinn Slack (CEO of Sourcegraph) and Steve Sordello (CFO of LinkedIn). We're grateful for all of our customers including Okta, Hearst Communications, SalesForce, Deloitte and BNY Mellon. 🙏 If you’d like to see some live demos of the features, ask us any questions, or just say hi, we’ll be hosting an informal “Meet the Team” sessions today (6/24/20). Be sure to stop by for a few minutes. 🙌 Meet the Team 3:00pm-3:30pm EST - https://us02web.zoom.us/j/823843... So what do you love or hate about your code review process? Do you think an in-editor experience will speed things up? Please leave a note in the comments below. Cheers, 🍻 Peter P.S. We’re randomly giving away 25 succulents to developers that sign-up today and create a code review. Details here.

CodeStream is one of the most facinating tools I have seen lately. There is so much that can be improved to make code reviews a much more beneficial activity for engineering teams, and CodeStream is the first tool that I have seen that actively takes on this challenge. I love the new features and the direction CodeStream goes in, and I hope more and more teams will adopt this awesome tool. Well done CodeStream!

So excited by the latest changes -- this will revolutionize code reviews! As the code editor/IDE/Just-in-time IDE is at the heart of a developers workflow, having the ability to review code (as well as commenting, suggesting changes, etc) within that environment in context takes things to a whole new level. And then by making it so simple and seamless to ask for a review (read: help) extremely early in the cycle (pre-push, even pre-commit) completely transforms team collaboration and improves outcomes. The only friction left in code reviews will be with your teammates not the tools! 😂 Also very psyched that CodeStream is now open-source -- a testament to the openness and values of an awesome team creating an awesome product for all developers.

This is amazing! It's basically the Figma of code reviews — but rather than requiring devs to adopt a new tool, it integrates directly with the IDE they're already familiar with. 👨🏻‍💻

Ohmygod yes. This. Thank you. I can actually keep my sanity while working on my laptop without an external display because I no longer have to juggle *4 freakin' windows* (IntelliJ + Slack + GitHub + Jira) just for a small bug fix. The in-IDE chat was a game-changer in itself, but the new workflow tools are 🤯 Btw - any plans for adding integration w/ Airtable as an issue tracker?

All right, CR-in-IDE is pretty clutch. Skipping the RubyMine-Tower-Github-Jira-RubyMine dance will save so much context-switching.

Finally something that honestly meets the needs of developers on what regards reviewing code. Congratulations, guys. Keep on going ;-)!

So useful plugin, nice work

We've been using CodeStream for the last several weeks with our team. Very convenient for adding contextual comments!

Love this team, huge congrats on the launch!!!

CodeStream has a unique value proposition. Simplifying code review is very interesting problem. Some thought has really gone into the product. I wish more people try it in their workflow.

CS is amazing. We have been using it since the team went fully remote. We reduced the time and effort that it takes us to merge new code! Support team is always there for you! Love it!

CodeStream is a game-changer for remote software teams spread out over multiple timezones and continents. It's a code review tool, code discussion, contextual issue reporting, and more - all built into your IDE. My team doesn't even need to use the same IDE because CodeStream supports all of the IDEs we use. We've been using it for 8 months and the communication, collaboration, and code quality has never been better. I highly recommend this product!

This is a really exciting advancement for CodeStream. If you haven't tried CS before, it has been both an awesome product and a great company to work with... and things are only getting better. Great stuff CS team!

One of the best tools for code review. Unconstrained by PRs, I can review all code across IDEs (We use Android Studio, Visual Studio, Rider, and PyCharm) where I have access to code navigation and intellisense, and have discussions that are otherwise hard to have because you can't open PRs for them and opening bugs/issues on your tracker is too cumbersome (e.g. comments on code already merged, legacy code, and so on)

Started using CodeStream recently for a project and instantly fell in love with it. CodeStream is so convenient and helpful and makes the whole code review process smoother and hassle free. I definitely see CodeStream to be integrated in the standard workflow in the future. My thanks and best wishes to the makers. :)

love codestream, its the only tool for code reviews in real time, i took the course in platzi, and i suggested to my leader team the implementation and it is awesome!

Great work from the CodeStream team.

It's a great idea for #GitHub and all other version control software out there... Implement a code review with no Pull Request involved

Our team has been using CodeStream for about a year now — we love it. They've proven a point: code reviews belong inside code editors. GitHub is finally making some innovative moves thanks to @natfriedman 's leadership — but CodeStream just threw down the gauntlet on code reviews. Tabbing back and forth between browser and editor simply feels broken now. GitHub feels redundant. I'm overjoyed that CodeStream is bringing fresh thinking to this space and I hope they disrupt the 🤬 out of it. Beyond that, the CodeStream team is exceptionally capable & responsive to feedback — this isn't their first rodeo: they know how to build customer-centric companies and products. Thrilled to be one of those customers!
