CodeStream Code Review — Fast and easy code reviews you'll love, in your IDE.
Request a review on any code, regardless of the state of your repo, even on WIP. Ditch the friction of save, branch, commit, push, create PR, email, pull, and so on. Review code with full source-tree context, including jump-to-def, your keybindings, and more.

This is amazing! It's basically the Figma of code reviews — but rather than requiring devs to adopt a new tool, it integrates directly with the IDE they're already familiar with. 👨🏻💻

The ROI of using Codestream is very obvious once you try it out. Solving a very real, very costly problem for software development.
Any company with over 5 devs (and especially now that everyone is working remote!) Should try this tool. Awesome progress over the last year too! Congrats.
@bluelabel we couldn't agree more! so much friction in today's development process -- we're trying hard to smooth out some of the rougher patches :)
CodeStream is an incredible tool, we've been using it for some time now, and it's getting better on every release. Props to the team for being so responsive and helpful.
@roperzh thank you for the kind words Roberto and all of the awesome feedback along the way. 🙏
Ohmygod yes. This. Thank you. I can actually keep my sanity while working on my laptop without an external display because I no longer have to juggle *4 freakin' windows* (IntelliJ + Slack + GitHub + Jira) just for a small bug fix. The in-IDE chat was a game-changer in itself, but the new workflow tools are 🤯
Btw - any plans for adding integration w/ Airtable as an issue tracker?
@schukin unfortunately no support for Airtable yet, and we don't get too many requests for it. now that the framework is in place, adding support for a new tracker isn't that hard. and since codestream is open source, if you're interested in submitting a PR we'd be happy to help guide you (via codestream, naturally) on how to do it.
Our team has been using CodeStream for about a year now — we love it. They've proven a point: code reviews belong inside code editors.
GitHub is finally making some innovative moves thanks to @natfriedman 's leadership — but CodeStream just threw down the gauntlet on code reviews. Tabbing back and forth between browser and editor simply feels broken now. GitHub feels redundant. I'm overjoyed that CodeStream is bringing fresh thinking to this space and I hope they disrupt the 🤬 out of it.
Beyond that, the CodeStream team is exceptionally capable & responsive to feedback — this isn't their first rodeo: they know how to build customer-centric companies and products. Thrilled to be one of those customers!
@natfriedman @zackaboo thank you Zack! your team's feedback has been invaluable in shaping our product, and we look forward to continuing to work with you and others to make codestream the best it can be 🙏
CodeStream is a great product and will definitely make life easier for devs by helping to keep focus and reduce context switching which we all know is a major productivity killer. Huge congrats to @peter_pezaris and team!
Built right into the IDE is a game changer, major productivity gain for developers. Super valuable!
I've been playing with this tool inside VSCode today, and the ability to request and do code reviews inside the IDE (no context-switching), even on a WPI (work-in-progress), completely blew my mind.
@matiasbaldanza thank you Matias! anything you can do to help us spread the word would be appreciated. if there is any way we can make the product better, please let us know :)
I’ve been using CodeStream for 18 months now on our various blockchain projects. We have a decentralized team around the world and this has been a very useful tool. The CodeStream team has been very helpful as well.
I am also part of the Product Hunt South Florida Team.

All right, CR-in-IDE is pretty clutch. Skipping the RubyMine-Tower-Github-Jira-RubyMine dance will save so much context-switching.
@icodestuff thank you! we love dancing, but not so much between applications when you're trying to get work done.
Hi Everyone! 👋
In 2020 we set out to reimagine how code reviews work because so many developers told us they are unhappy with their existing solution. They told us:
😡 Code reviews happen too late in the process when reworking code is frustrating.
😡 Code reviews happen mostly on a website, like GitHub.com, causing too many context switches.
😡 Code reviews in web sites don't provide the environment and tools needed to work optimally.
CodeStream Code Reviews change all that. It's now two clicks to request feedback on a Work-In-Progress, and by getting feedback early, you can course-correct leading to higher code quality. And it integrates seamlessly with your PR workflow, whether that's GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. 💯
Never leave your IDE to request or perform a code review. No more context switching from web to email to IDE back to web. Discussions during a code review stay attached to the code they refer to (even post-merge!) and are easily accessible to all teammates as a form of documentation. 🚀
CodeStream is backed by Y Combinator and the awesome guys at Brightstone, PJC, S28 as well as Eric Yuan (CEO of Zoom), Quinn Slack (CEO of Sourcegraph) and Steve Sordello (CFO of LinkedIn). We're grateful for all of our customers including Okta, Hearst Communications, SalesForce, Deloitte and BNY Mellon. 🙏
If you’d like to see some live demos of the features, ask us any questions, or just say hi, we’ll be hosting an informal “Meet the Team” sessions today (6/24/20). Be sure to stop by for a few minutes. 🙌
Meet the Team

So what do you love or hate about your code review process? Do you think an in-editor experience will speed things up? Please leave a note in the comments below.
Cheers, 🍻

P.S. We’re randomly giving away 25 succulents to developers that sign-up today and create a code review. Details here.
So excited by the latest changes -- this will revolutionize code reviews! As the code editor/IDE/Just-in-time IDE is at the heart of a developers workflow, having the ability to review code (as well as commenting, suggesting changes, etc) within that environment in context takes things to a whole new level. And then by making it so simple and seamless to ask for a review (read: help) extremely early in the cycle (pre-push, even pre-commit) completely transforms team collaboration and improves outcomes. The only friction left in code reviews will be with your teammates not the tools! 😂
Also very psyched that CodeStream is now open-source -- a testament to the openness and values of an awesome team creating an awesome product for all developers.
I own a small start up, and a friend of mine turned me on to CodeStream. It has already helped us save time and energy making some needed upgrades! I would recommend it to anyone!
Tried this a couple of weeks ago and still digging it.
The native integration into VSCode is very well done. Cool collaborative augmentation layer to the IDE experience.
CodeStream is one of the most facinating tools I have seen lately. There is so much that can be improved to make code reviews a much more beneficial activity for engineering teams, and CodeStream is the first tool that I have seen that actively takes on this challenge.
I love the new features and the direction CodeStream goes in, and I hope more and more teams will adopt this awesome tool.
Well done CodeStream!
@mgreiler thank you! That means a lot coming from someone who is such an expert in the space! 🙏
