We currently use Reviewable.io. It has a lot of features that I expect from a code review tool, but the UI is just very bad and slow on so many levels. Will give omniref a try. @timr, I think you should charge per user, not per repository + per user. In today's micro-service/library/containers age, there a lot of small repositories within companies. Your pricing suggests there's a 2:1 repos to users ratio. Our team, for example, easily has 10:1 repos to users ratio.

Thanks! The pricing structure is a bit of a guess right now. I'm flexible on the repo restriction, and amenable to removing it completely, if that's what people want. If it's the only thing that keeps you from trying us, shoot me an email at tim@omniref.com, and we'll work it out. Not because I want give the hard-sell, but because I'd have to alter the code. ;-)

Hi there, Reviewable founder here. Can you elaborate on "very bad and slow" please? The UI can be polarizing but I'm always open to simplifications / alternatives. As for performance, I'm not aware of any regressions at the moment as long as you're running Chrome 49+ or Firefox 46+ on a decent machine (Safari and Edge have... issues), but again I'm happy to investigate every report.

  I'd like to echo this comment. Piotr has been amazingly responsive to problems with bugs or performance issues that we have hit (the Mozilla Servo team). Apart from the UI, Reviewable also handles many of the really ugly "they did an over-under rebase, force-pushed, did another, then flipped back" cases that come up with longer-lived PRs and manages to keep the review state reasonable better than any other tool I've seen. And we've tried quite a few of them :-)

  Hey Piotr, there's not a single issue I can just point out. The whole experience feels lagish and slow. It is most likely there's so much JavaScript on the client. I even have animations disabled. For example: * /reviews page takes around 5 seconds to load * Sometimes the above page gives API rate limit exceptions * The list of PRs on the above page are not wrapped in an anchor tag. I can't right click the links (to open in a new tab for example), I have to hold onto cmd and press a small icon instead I love all the features you offer, but the UX is not very pleasant at all. We can set up a web session to show you more of my experience.
