Thanks for hunting us @fmerian !
What is Watermelon?
For software engineering teams that spend a lot of time reviewing pull requests, we provide an open-source copilot for code review.
We trace the code context associated with PRs from sources like GitHub, Slack, Linear, and Notion. Our system identifies errors in PRs, initially focusing on console log detection and comments on the line diffs. Taking these insights into account, we conduct a pre-review of PRs and assign them appropriate labels.
Why us?
@estebandalelr and I have been developing software for the past 6 years and we've worked at companies of all sizes, from 2-person to 1,000-person companies. Code review was always a pain for us.
Devs spend 30% of their time doing code reviews, and 40% of PRs don't contain a description. Despite advances in AI for code, there hasn't been much innovation around solving this pain point.
We aimed to create a tool that goes beyond just a basic syntactic analysis of the PR.
Please help us with the following. We will highly appreciate it:
- Introductions to engineering leaders at companies who use GitHub.
- Star us on GitHub.
- Install Watermelon and give us your feedback.
Thank you very much, ProductHunt! 😄

Who hunted Watermelon?
Watermelon was hunted by fmerian. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
