Diffchat.com brings real time aspects to code review and pair programming. We neatly organize pull requests and repos into a format that fosters collaboration. You can easily interact with other users in real time and even see where they are looking at a file.
Sign into our service with your github account and then either take a look at one of your own code repositories or click on the suggested repos to view some popular open source projects. Navigate your way into the open pull requests where you can chat with other users who are using our service, leave comments about specific lines and the pull request in general. You can easily jump to and reference specific lines of code with the click of your mouse and see where other people are viewing a file in real time.
Really enjoying our service? Don’t forget you can access any public repository through our service without even having to register! Just type the name of your favorite repo in our search box and see what’s happening in real time!

therazorbladeThe idea of creating a collaboration environment for github is great. I was able to get in, pull a project, and click on a line to comment. Could not actually add a comment (both FF and Chrome) and the chat at the bottom didn’t work. | |||
Issue has been fixed. Please try again
therazorbladeThanks. Review updated above.

landlessnessinteresting idea. the interaction design on the way in wasn’t obvious. on the other hand, you solved some tough problems with the visual and interaction design for the comments on specific lines of code. as far as utility, not sure the real-time benefit is super compelling for teams that work asynchronously, but this is a node competition… nice work. | |||
AnkurBulsaraI had a difficult time getting the Online Now part to work. From an idea standpoint, I’m not sure that developers would use this over IRC or IM to communicate thoughts about code. So I think the biggest challenge will be adoption. Github also already provides much of this functionality with respect to code comments and code reviews. | |||
izsDidn’t work for me, cool design though. | |||
Thanks for reviewing our app. The issue has been resolved, please take a look again.
It redirects me to “http://diffchat.com/auth/github?error=redirect_uri_mismatch” now and causes an error?
jeffreyGreat idea and execution. | |||
Works great, but the chat and commenting does not work for me. Tried in FF and Chrome. Chat reloads the page and comments aren’t stored. Lots of exceptions in Chrome’s debugger, so probably something simple is wrong. Great work.
