Hi Go team,

if you want an alternative for Gerrit code review, you can also use http://review.ninja. It's also open source, so you are welcome to contribute.

Cheers, Mitch

Took a brief look at the front page.

- No side-by-side diffs? Didn't see any in screen shots.

- The scopes asked for seem very broad. I may be confused, but it seemed like it was asking for write access to all repositories, public and private. I have access to several private repos (but I don't own them) for which this is unacceptable. If the scope is limited to the ones under github.com/me then it's not as big a deal... In any case, the scary scope list prevented me from experimenting.

Hi skj!

- What do you exactly mean by side-by-side diff? Currently you have diff view between the current HEAD of the Pull Request branch by the base commit.

- Yes, that is true. This is a known issue mentioned by others and there is definitely a need to fix that. ReviewNinja comes from the GitHub Enterprise context, where you usually can trust the internal tool offering, that's why we kept it simple with the permissions in the first place.

Thank you for the feedback!

Here's a screenshot of some side-by-side diff action: https://fr.atlassian.com/wac/software/fisheye/overview/scree...

Basically, it let's you look at the old code, or look at the new code, or see how they're different, all at the same time.

Inline diffs (github-style) require you to keep a context as you scan through code, and it makes it harder to keep everything in your head.

Review Ninja is beautiful, but at it's core, it's just slightly more nice stuff on top of pull requests. It can't address the issues such as being able to edit someone else's pull request as part of a code review, can it?
Hi pridkett!

Anything pushed to the branch of a pull request is an edit on the pull request. Once something new is pushed on to the pull request, the voting in ReviewNinja needs to be repeated.

Furthermore, Issues linked to a commit will be linked to all new commits by Review.Ninja automatically, as long as the issue isn't solve. You only merge, once all issues are solved / it is save to merge.

Cheers, Mitch

How much do we have to bribe you for Bitbucket integration?
We will work for cookies! :) jk

We are very open for cool new ideas, features and also contributions on our GitHub repo: https://github.com/reviewninja/review.ninja

ReviewNinja comes from the GitHub Enterprise context (as we use GitHub Enterprise in our company) and we want to offer an open source code review tool for both GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise.

Bitbucket is awesome! But I think if we want to support on premise installations with Review.Ninja, BitBucket support would be overkill.
