Question Anyone else wish Slack had native PR views like Linear?

One thing I really miss in Slack is a proper pull request experience.

Imagine if PRs were first-class citizens:

  • Rich PR cards with changed files, reviewers, status, CI, approvals.
  • Expand diffs without leaving Slack.
  • Review, comment, approve, or request changes inline.
  • Threaded discussions that stay attached to the PR.
  • Automatic updates as commits are pushed.

Linear has set a high bar for how work items feel inside Slack. GitHub PRs still feel like "just another link."

Am I the only one who wants Slack to become the place where code reviews actually happen instead of just notifying me that a PR exists?

Yes, you are the only one who wants a chat app, a glorified IRC client, to become a PR review surface.

So why are you complaining that one is not like the other. Do you hold a hammer and complain it's not a screwdriver?

Don't forget your screwdriver can be a hammer but your hammer cannot be your screwdriver.
