Ask HN: Alternative PR Viewer for Bitbucket PRs?

1 point by Sheeny96 5 months ago | 2 comments
I find the UX for bitbucket pull requests an absolutely awful experience that massively slows down my ability to review code. Does anyone use any alternative tooling for branch reviews that they've had success with?

    I haven't used Bitbucket for such a very long time I thought it was dead. Can't you raise your voice and propose something less "dying" like self-hosted GitLab, or cheap GitLab/GitHub accounts?

      That'd be a very hard argument in a corporate environment, when we already pay for the Atlassian stack. Jira and Confluence are already so embedded, I've barked up that tree before, it wouldn't go anywhere for a long time even if there were glaring problems, nevermind one devs gripe about a suboptimal UX.

      Self hosted costs a person, or more likely a team, plus the infra.
