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! 😄
We've been using Watermelon at ConvertFlow. It helps reduce that "ping pong" effect in PR work, by setting lots of context and catching common things quickly. Highly recommended!
Hey Esteban, I remember seeing watermelon long ago at the Pioneer tournament! It is great to see the project made a lot of progress and launched on ProductHunt. Congrats on the launch! I think it would be great if teams could add some rules for the PR. For example, if the PR size is too large, advise the developer to split the PR into multiple small PRs.
first, logo is so cool! second, aren't there a few ai tools already available? whats your unique value? congratz
This is a gamer changer. Commenting and reviewing pull requests is so time costuming. It's open source and streamlines the communication channel as well. Kudos founding team!
We do spend a lot of time in PR review. Time to try Watermelon for the rescue, thanks @helloteban
Hey there! That's a cool idea. Having an open-source copilot for code reviews should make life a lot easier for engineers😃. Thanks for sharing!
#1 fan of your product since day 1 your third-party integrations for slack, jira and confluence has not only saved us tons of time reviewing complex code bases, but also have create a huge reliability on you guys because of the awesome product you've developed!!! congrats!!!
Congrats on the launch @helloteban ! Will get our team to surely try this out. Small feedback on your website, the initial scrolling laptop animation has a bit of an issue! Do check that out...
Anyways really rooting for the product!
