Axolo: Review pull requests in Slack to merge code faster.

Hey Product Hunters, First of all, thank you @mwseibel for hunting us! We have been helping engineering teams merge pull requests faster for the past 18 months with @sydney_cohen. We started working on Axolo because we were obsessed with: Why developers should waste their time and wait for their code to be reviewed? We’ve identified three major problems: 1. Time to review: Takes too long to be reviewed and it’s painful. 2. Context switching: Switching between code review tools and Slack to communicate is a time waster. 3. Documentation: It’s hard to document everything that is being said. Merge requests are being talked about in DM and private calls. There is no documentation, and it’s hard to know why a decision was made. 🎯 Developers lose precious focus time We estimate that developers waste at least 2 hours per week coordinating with one another on pull requests. For a team of 20 that represents the work of 1 developer full-time (~140k$ per year) 🤯 🙄 In-house solutions and bots are going OBSOLETE - Noizy - Alerts everyone and then gets ignored - Hard to maintain - Miss critical info: deployments, GitHub Actions, and checks. 🐙 Introducing Axolo: we bring back focus to developers and speed up code reviews (companies using Axolo have seen a 40% decrease in average cycle time and 86% of developers who use Axolo on a daily basis say that it has improved their code review workflow, we would love to test these data with your team!) ❓ How does it work? It’s simple: Axolo creates an ephemeral Slack channel for each code review, invites only the right people, and adds all contextual information needed (CI/CD, ticket link, code conflicts, code review comments, etc..). When the code is merged the channel gets archived silently. We’re so happy to officially announce our GitLab integration and help developers review merge requests faster! To celebrate it with you, we are offering the Product Hunt community 20% off the first three months if your team decides to switch to a paid plan after the 2-week free trials. Use the code AXOLOHUNT2022 (or just ask us during your trial). Please share your feedback with us, this was the n°1 source of improvement for Axolo. 🙏

Excited to see Axolo on GitLab at last! Stale merge requests *are* an issue -> "I'm waiting for your feedback". "Oh, I thought you had answered to my comments?" Really excited to try it out for our startup (https://spoke.app) to ship faster. Congrats!
