Hi HN!
We’re building Haystack Code Reviewer, a tool that lays out code diffs for a GitHub pull request on an interactive canvas. Instead of scrolling through diffs line-by-line, you can view all changes in a more connected, visual format – similar to viewing a call graph. We hope this will make it easier and less cognitively taxing to understand how different changes across files work together.
