I think the gist of it is that the workflow for PRs is centered around the conversation and not around the code.
More specifically: - When looking at the code the comments are made inline, when a conversation gets more than a few lines. All the code context disappear. So instead of having the comments displayed inline they could be folded into a bubble inside the line number (cf how quip does comments) - The current view of code changes is a list. It doesn't reflect the hierarchical nature of the files and how they relate to each other. Would be good to have a file explorer on the left that only shows modified files hierarchy. - The view is by default limited to the modifications of the files, removing the context for understanding. It feels like the whole file should be displayed with a focus on the modified parts. - Would be awesome to be able to select different themes for syntax coloring.
- Code is completely static. There is no way to get documentation or do Go to definition. This is the hardest one to solve but would be really useful for reviews.
Thanks for the feedback!
