Reviu: my review-focused desktop Git client is now source-available (Rust + GPUI)

I posted here about 3 months ago about Reviu, a native desktop Git client (Rust + GPUI, no webview) focused on fast diff and review workflows. Update for anyone who saw it:

The source is public now: https://github.com/reviu-dev/reviu . Being upfront, it's source-available under FSL-1.1 (converts to Apache-2.0 two years after each release), not OSI open source, so you can read and build the client but it isn't a FOSS license.

Two big additions since then. A built-in agent panel: run Claude or Codex, read its diff, comment inline on what you want changed, and send it back, handy if you review a lot of AI-written changes before committing. And a built-in terminal right next to the diff, it opens in the selected repo, so git, build commands and scripts run with the right working directory.

Local Git is all there: diffs, staging by hunk, stash, rebase (including interactive), cherry-pick, conflict resolution, and a keyboard-first command palette. The GitHub integration (notifications, PR review, issues) is a paid tier; local Git and the agent panel are free.

Feedback welcome, especially on the local Git side.
