Hey Product Hunt! Marco here, co-founder at Pullpo.io
As developers, we spend a lot of time reviewing code on GitHub. One recurring frustration I used to have all the time was deciphering ambiguous comments. These misunderstandings often slowed us down.
We're big fans of the https://conventionalcomments.org standard for adding clarity, but remembering and typing the prefixes (suggestion, issue(blocking), etc.) felt like friction.
✅ It adds a small toolbar above GitHub comment boxes.
✅ You click buttons for labels (issue, suggestion, praise, nitpick, etc.) and optional decorators (blocking, non-blocking, if-minor).
✅ It automatically formats the comment prefix for you.
✅ There's a "Prettify" option to display prefixes as visual badges (using Shields.io, linked to a simple explainer on pullpo.io).
✅ It adapts to GitHub light/dark themes.
We built it because we needed it ourselves to improve our internal review process, and thought others might find it useful too. It's completely free and open-source (MIT license).
We just launched it on the Chrome Web Store. Would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, or any pain points you have with code review comments!
Nice initiative! Definitely gonna check, and for sure makes me think about the "quality" of the comments sometimes we leave, that a lot of times lead to a huddle in the end...

As developers, we spend a lot of time reviewing code on GitHub. One recurring frustration I used to have all the time was deciphering ambiguous comments. These misunderstandings often slowed us down.
We're big fans of the https://conventionalcomments.org standard for adding clarity, but remembering and typing the prefixes (suggestion, issue(blocking), etc.) felt like friction.
So, we built a simple, free, open-source (https://github.com/pullpo-io/conventional-comments) Chrome extension to make using this standard effortless within the GitHub UI.
How it works:
✅ It adds a small toolbar above GitHub comment boxes.
✅ You click buttons for labels (issue, suggestion, praise, nitpick, etc.) and optional decorators (blocking, non-blocking, if-minor).
✅ It automatically formats the comment prefix for you.
✅ There's a "Prettify" option to display prefixes as visual badges (using Shields.io, linked to a simple explainer on pullpo.io).

Really an amazing tool.
