Why I built DiffSeek: reviewing code is the slow part now

说明与用途

DiffSeek 通过隐藏已生成和已查看的文件、在文件树中显示进度徽章，并快速识别剩余工作，来加速拉取请求的审查。

问题

Pull requests grew longer with LLM-generated code while review time stayed the same, making review the bottleneck.

结果

Review time is reduced by quickly identifying remaining files to read, thanks to automatic hiding of generated and viewed files and visual progress indicators.

工作流

• Open a PR on GitHub
• DiffSeek automatically hides files marked linguist-generated in .gitattributes and files already viewed
• Use the filter menu to toggle visibility of hidden files
• View progress badges on the file tree to see unread, partially reviewed, or fully reviewed items
• Click a folder badge to mark all its unread visible files as viewed
• Use filters to focus on specific CODEOWNERS, groups, or file formats

证据

Review became the step everything else waits on, and that's where I thought a small tool could help: make it easier to see which files still need a person to read them.

来源

When you open a PR, generated files and files you've already viewed are hidden, and one click in the filter menu shows them again.

来源

Each file and folder in GitHub's file tree gets a viewed badge: an empty circle while unread, a half-filled one when partly reviewed, a check once done.

DiffSeek works through your existing GitHub session, so private repos work without a token or account. It has no backend and collects no data.
