Shit has gotten so bad that my company is seriously Looking at alternatives. And we are pretty deeply reliant on github

Fucking GitHub man, get yr shit together

In the age of agentic coding, code review is becoming a larger percentage of my time. But the tools I use for review really suck. GitHub PR review web app is terrible, and even more so in Safari (I don’t use Chrome).

Are there any tools that can improve this process? I’d like to see richer syntax highlighting, better tools for seeing surrounding context, nice preview of markdown files, and an interface that isn’t riddled with paper cuts.

Xcode offers codegen for localized strings and image/color assets. But it only generates code with internal access level. Not useful when your resources are in a framework.

But what I realized is that you can just call xcstringstool and actool manually with the right incantation, and then post process the generated files to make the symbols public.

GitHub has long since fallen out of 9’s territory and is deep in 8’s. But now the question is will they fall to 7’s

Adopting building folders in my Xcode projects means that adding or removing source files does not touch the project file. And adopting xcconfig files means modifying build setting does not touch the project file either. Now the only times I get merge conflicts in the project file are when two branches add swift packages at the same time, which is pretty rare. So for me, project generation tools (XcodeGen, Tuist, etc) don’t have a strong ROI, but maybe I’m missing something.
