Hi HN, we’re building Haystack Editor ( https://haystackeditor.com/ ), a canvas-based IDE that automates the boring stuff (plumbing, refactoring, and finding code) so that you can focus on the exciting parts of software development! You can see a quick overview of Haystack at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2uZnR5D_cc ! (It's currently only on Mac OS but we

Hi HN! We’re building Haystack Code Reviewer, a tool that lays out code diffs for a GitHub pull request on an interactive canvas. Instead of scrolling through diffs line-by-line, you can view all changes in a more connected, visual format – similar to viewing a call graph. We hope this will make it easier and less cognitively taxing to understand how differe

Hi HN! We’re excited to share Haystack Code Reviewer, a tool that analyzes, chunks, and organizes the changes made in a pull request and guides you through them in a logical sequence on an interactive canvas. We hope that Haystack really cuts down on the time that you spend piecing together what's happening in the pull request, so that you can spend time on

Post excerpt:
Hi HN! Code reviews today are line-by-line diffs. This format makes reviewers focus on individual changes to catch bugs, style issues, and bad variable names, rather than the bigger picture of what the code is doing and why. However, I don’t think that’s what code reviews are for. Tests (and angry users) catch bugs. Linters catch style issues. And nitpicks a

Public repositories seem to be getting more AI-generated pull requests, some of which are low-effort and haven’t been manually reviewed. We built Haystack Slop Detector to scan PRs and flag changes that look like they were made without reviewing them first.

Hi HN, I’ve been working on a solution to something I personally view as a problem: increasing amounts of AI Slop in PRs. I’ve noticed that some contributors on GitHub have been using AI tools (which are great!) to make low-quality contributions to public repos just for the sake of it. These contributions often have duplicate code, hallucinated functions, an

Hey HN! We're building Haystack ( https://haystackeditor.com/ ) to help teams deal with the explosion in the number of pull requests that need to be reviewed due to the rise of coding agents. Haystack replaces the GitHub PR review system with a queue that triages each PR before a human has to read any diffs. It looks at the diffs, the codebase, and the codin
