Congrats on the Watermelon launch! It's fantastic to see tools that streamline the code review process. I'm excited about the potential time-saving benefits for engineering teams. Keep up the great work!
@daxeelsoni thanks for your support! We’ve identified code review is a very common bottleneck for engineering teams, therefore we’re laser-focused on solving this.
May I ask, is your team’s bottleneck more around velocity or stability?
@sentry_co yes it is! We believe it’s very important to incentivize OSS. What other products have you seen do this very well?
@helloteban I adopted codebeat.co back in the days. Their growth hack: slide up in trending OSS repos 😂
Uhh I spend hours on code reviews daily, can totally see how this can help. Gonna give it a try!
@fabioespinosa Thanks! Would love to pick your brain on this.
What efforts is your team currently making to reduce this amount of time?
Hey there! That's a cool idea. Having an open-source copilot for code reviews should make life a lot easier for engineers😃. Thanks for sharing!
@george_livingston Thanks! Is there anything in particular that you really like?
We do spend a lot of time in PR review. Time to try Watermelon for the rescue, thanks @helloteban
@samabrika1 Awesome! I saw you guys started using it. Please let us know if you have any feedback for us!
@matijash Thanks! Huge fan of Wasp BTW.
Long story short: First, it's different. All dev tools have a name mixing the word "Git", "Code", or "Source" with some other word. We're gonna win by being different.
Second, it has an emoji. Who doesn't like emojis? 🍉🍉🍉
This is a gamer changer. Commenting and reviewing pull requests is so time costuming. It's open source and streamlines the communication channel as well. Kudos founding team!
This looks awesome, congrats on the launch! I'm going to share it with my team. Can it detect "leftover commented out code"?
@yev_yev_yev Ty! Huge fan of Multiple here.
Not yet but it's something we're planning to expand into very soon as it's something that we can very easily do on top of what we have already built.
Can I ask, what language are you guys using?
We're using TypeScript. An example would be:
```typescript
const someFn = () => {
// const oldLeftoverVar = 10;
const x = 5;
return x;
}
```
I want to detect/remove the leftover code
@pekka Thanks for your support! Is there something in particular that grabs your attention?
Hey Esteban, I remember seeing watermelon long ago at the Pioneer tournament! It is great to see the project made a lot of progress and launched on ProductHunt. Congrats on the launch! I think it would be great if teams could add some rules for the PR. For example, if the PR size is too large, advise the developer to split the PR into multiple small PRs.
@atsuhiro_teshima Woah that was very long ago! We were not even building a dev tool back then. It's been so long in retrospect. Thanks for your support!
We've been thinking about adding something like this to our rules engine. For instance, we know that certain companies have a rule that says "a PR shouldn't exceed 200 LOC". What's going on around our heads is "how do we make this not so opinionated, but at the same time not so unopinionated as including the X number of LOC as a settings parameter?" "Is number of LOC the best proxy for everyone in the first place?"
Would you please give us some advice on this? How do you recommend we think about it?
first, logo is so cool! second, aren't there a few ai tools already available? whats your unique value? congratz
@naveed_rehman there's a new breed of innovative tools adding AI to their products to expedite code review. That's correct.
Being open-source is key to differentiation. As developers, we prefer to install open stuff. We trust those products more. In addition to that, I want to give you a glimpse of something that's already having a test PR: We'll give you the ability to choose your model of preference if you're more inclined towards an OSS alternative to Open AI such as Mistral.
Beyond that and what's most important is that contrary to all these other products, we understand that we need to trace code context for LLMs to produce the best results.
This is so time-saving. Especially for those repositories who get tons of pull requests in a short amount of time. Great product guys and congrats on your launch.
@hosseinyazdi 100%. Repos with a lot of PRs are the ones that get the best use case. Very curious to learn: What is it exactly about the product that catches your attention the most?
@hosseinyazdi Messy repos are the ones that get the most out of us, do you have any examples we can look at?
Congrats on the launch! Watermelon's AI-assisted PR insights will help in streamlining the code collaboration, simplifying the PR reviews with smart tagging. It can become a game-changer for busy teams!
