After many years at Facebook I’ve recently switched jobs and have to use GitHub now for work. Compared to Phabricator (FB’s code review tool), the GitHub code review (and code merge) processes seems extremely basic and clunky.

I'm also working on a code review app called Crocodile that addresses GitHub's shortcomings. Signups are open and feedback is always appreciated.

Try out Graphite! Half of us are ex-FB, so we get it.

That looks cool, I put my work and personal emails on the waitlist! GitHub review is just… awful

Side-note: I took a look at the ‘About’ page thinking ‘Hey, they said ex-FB, extremely unlikely but maybe i know someone’. Looking at your username I’m guessing you’re jacob gold and worked on messaging infra in NY. I used to work on Iris! Small world.

So funny :) I was on storage but was "moonlighting" on Iris for my last couple months at FB — what a small world!

Feel free to shoot me an email if you don't want to wait, although the list moves fairly quickly these days.
