Post Description

Hi HN!

I think the site is self explanatory, but I thought I should mention that we are working on the open source aspect of this so we can both crowd source information AND keep privacy concerns at the center of our operations. We'd love to hear your ideas and thoughts.

Everdone CodeSecurity and CodePerformance

The product's real selling point is the iterative verification loop: AI inspects PRs/branches, surfaces exploitable issues with file+line and severity, and then re-runs reviews to confirm fixes — that workflow (Open → In Progress → Resolved → Closed/Rejected) is practical and would reduce issues slipping through. Promising as a unified place for docs, review, security and perf, but success depends heavily on low false-positive rates and transparent evidence for security findings; without that, it risks feeling like another noisy scanner.
