Show HN: A coding coach to help you write better code faster

[juli1pb]

Hey HN!

I’m Julien, the founder of Code Inspector, a platform that helps developers and managers produce better code and reduce technical debt. We would love to get some feedback from the Hacker News community.

Our platform inspects code, looks for defects (security, vulnerability, design, performance, lack of documentation), automates code reviews and reports on team activity. You can customize violation alerts to reduce false positives. We currently support GitHub, Bitbucket and Gitlab.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on what you would expect from such a platform (what you like, dislike) and what could help developers produce better code.

Thanks for reading thus far and hope to hear from the HN community.

One of the problems that I've had with static code analysis in github is them spamming my PR with comments pointing out trivial problems.

That is actually great feedback. What language is your project and what platform did you try/use?

Hi Julian Code Inspector is a really interesting product. quick question, will the lack of unit testing be considered as a defect?

[juli1pb]

Thanks you for your interest! It should be considered as a debt. For now, we do not provide any metrics on it, mostly because there are already really great tools to do this (and wanted to focus on other aspects). Ideally, we should integrate with other products (such as codecov, coveralls) to integrate code coverage metrics on our dashboard.
