> There are tools and plugins that allow users to review PRs inside their IDE, but it requires a herculean effort to make it usable.

Definitely not my experience with VSCode and GitHub's PR extension, but I don't think I'm the target audience for this product anyway.

What about other editors and IDEs? It might work great for VSCode, heavily leveraging vertical integration, but everything else is out of scope.

`git-pr` removes all of this overhead by being creative with its design. You don't need a VSCode extension, just write the review in code and we help make that manageable.


Absolutely, I was just responding to the herculean effort part. I realize it's a nit, but I think it might be more accurate to say that not all editors are supported, because in some cases it takes barely any effort at all.


GitHub has done a good job of getting the product into VSCode. I think this product is targeting people who already likely using a terminal editor and work well within a CLI environment, which is what all of Pico's services are trying to do already.
