I think that's a fair observation. We don't expect massive companies to use this tool. Even within GitHub many companies are feeling its PR review feature-set lacking, especially for massive, long-standing code changes (just look at all the companies productizing code reviews).
Our target demographic is the self-hosted hacker enthusiast. If you want a full-blown pull request workflow in the browser, this will never be that.
However, there's a large demo of users that want a simple self-hosted solution that doesn't require a bunch of infra to manage. If you want to self-host a git collaboration tool you basically need to bootup gitea-scale services or be relegated to `git send-email`. The sweet spot for `git-pr` is right in-between those two tools.
All you need is a tiny VM and a golang binary and you have a code review tool that is leveraging utilities you already have installed: git, ssh, and an editor. End users do not need to create an account, install any clients locally, and all user personas and workflows can be accomplished in the browser.
- IshKebab 2y ago> you basically need to bootup gitea-scale services Is that actually difficult though? I was always under the impression that Gogs/Gitea were pretty easy to run because they're also written in Go. I just checked Gogs and it looks like it has exactly the same dependencies as Git-PR (Git and and SSH server). It would definitely be cool if Gogs/Gitea/Gitlab/Sourcehut standardised a PR API, but... like properly.
