But clients get almost zero scrutiny.</p> <p>You receive a project proposal and have: a name, maybe a company. That's it.</p> <p><strong>That information exists. It just never surfaces where you need it — before you say yes.</strong></p> <p>I'm building a tool to fix this:</p> <ul> <li>Search a client's name or email before accepting a project</li> <li>See red flags reported by other freelancers</li> <li>AI analysis of their project brief (unrealistic budgets, scope creep signals)</li> <li>Simple score: ✅ Clean / ⚠️ Caution / 🚨 Avoid</li> </ul> <p>Still in validation phase — no product yet, just talking to people.</p> <p><strong>If you freelance: what's the worst red flag you've seen from a client before OR after it was too late?</strong></p> <p>Be brutally honest — if this is a bad idea I'd rather know now.</p> freelance webdev buildinpublic discuss Keynition Mon, 04 May 2026 03:02:43 +0000 https://dev.to/keynition/how-i-built-an-ai-code-reviewer-that-automatically-comments-on-github-prs-3fm5 https://dev.to/keynition/how-i-built-an-ai-code-reviewer-that-automatically-comments-on-github-prs-3fm5 <p>I got tired of waiting days for code reviews on my PRs. So I built a tool that uses Claude AI to review every pull request automatically.</p> <p>Here's how it works and what I learned building it.</p> <h2> The problem </h2> <p>Code reviews are slow. You open a PR, ping your team, wait hours (or days), and half the comments are about obvious stuff — missing error handling, weak passwords, SQL injection risks.</p> <p>I wanted to automate the obvious stuff so human reviewers could focus on logic and architecture.</p> <h2> How it works </h2> <ol> <li>Connect your GitHub repo via webhook</li> <li>Every new PR triggers Claude AI to analyze the code</li> <li>Claude posts inline comments directly on the diff within seconds</li> </ol> <h2> What Claude catches </h2> <ul> <li>🔒 Security issues: hardcoded secrets, SQL injection, weak crypto</li> <li>⚡ Performance problems</li> <li>🏗️ Architecture issues</li> <li>💅 Code style</li> </ul> <h2> Tech stack </h2> <ul> <li>Next.js 14</li> <li>PostgreSQL (Neon)</li> <li>Claude API (Anthropic)</li> <li>GitHub Webhooks + API</li> <li>Vercel</li> </ul> <h2> Try it </h2> <p>Free plan: 20 reviews/month. Pro: $99/month.</p> <p><a href="https://codereview-keynition.vercel.app" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://codereview-keynition.vercel.app</a></p> github webdev productivity
