If anyone is interested, I've been building a code review tool called Crocodile[0] that lets you review GitHub PRs. It has a similar file browser to the left plus floating comments, threaded discussions, and more.

Just casually following this thread, this is the third SaaS I've seen offering an alternative code review tool to supplement GitHub. It's either sorely needed to make up for how bad GitHub is, or it's true that we engineers can't help but makes tools for people exactly like ourselves.

Probably a mix of both. Many of the founders of code review tools came from companies that had internal code review tools (Microsoft has CodeFlow, Google has Critique, Facebook has Phabricator) and they missed those tools after leaving those companies.
