Looks nice. How does this compare/contrast with other static analysis tools in Ruby?

Reek is quite opinionated because it focuses on code smells. It's going to flag lots of stuff in a big codebase like dev.to's but it doesn't hurt :-D

There are overlaps with Rubocop IIRC

See the list of code smells. You're probably going to disable Uncommunicative Name for a while because usually it's a high frequency violation.

It might help getting to fewer issues on codeclimate 🀞🏾
