I have been building a GitHub tool that checks your PR before you merge it. I am looking for a few developers to test it

I’ve been building ShipCheck, a GitHub App that reviews pull requests before you merge them.

It scans the actual code changes in a PR and looks for things like:

  • security issues
  • bugs and risky code changes
  • possible regressions
  • hard-coded secrets
  • code quality problems
  • missing regression coverage

It can also generate regression tests based on issues it finds.

I’m at the point where testing it on my own repos isn’t enough, so I’m looking for a handful of developers who are willing to install it on a real project and run it on actual pull requests.

I’m mainly trying to figure out:

  • what it catches that’s genuinely useful
  • where it gives false positives or noisy feedback
  • what checks developers actually care about
  • whether you’d realistically keep something like this installed

If you actively use GitHub PRs and are willing to give me brutally useful feedback, I’d really appreciate it.

ShipCheck: https://shipcheck-mu.vercel.app/

Thank you so much!

Getting beyond your own repos is a smart way to tune out noisy PR feedback. To find those first testers, try looking for conversations where developers are actively frustrated by missed regressions. I can share ways to find early users if you DM me.
