So, am I missing something or is it just hosted static analysis?
I don't know about the static analysis competitors for the particular set of languages they support, but this tool is incredibly bare-bones. If you're looking to use static analysis (and it is a great contributor to code quality), shop around. We pay for quite a few such tools, and while I'm not suggesting everyone ought to rush out and drop a pretty penny on Coverity, I'd be surprised if you couldn't find a better bang for your buck than this one.

I'm also not sure if "just" is fair - it looks like there's GitHub/Bitbucket integration, for checking PRs too. In which case of course hosted makes sense. It's also free for public repos, while CodeClimate is free local-only, so it's a bit of a different offering; better for the hobbyist from that perspective at least.
- fishnchips 11y agoI'd like to think that static analysis is just 'how' and not 'what' we do. Unlike most hosted solutions I know we use our own algorithms rather than provide wrappers around assorted open-source linters. This should ideally allow us to flag more and more things over time. For now you are right that the tool is fairly bare-bones. But I think it's best to launch and iterate.
