Critic (https://getcritic.dev) - An improved inbox for GitHub pull requests

The experience with GitHub can be terribly frustrating when it comes to managing the stream of incoming pull requests. The default inbox and notification systems are not so good, and not flexible. Critic allows to create any number of sections, each section being defined by an arbitrary search query.

I would now like to expand it to provide a better code review experience, similar to what Graphite or Reviewable may provide - but under as an open source project. Source code is available at: https://github.com/pvcnt/critic

Shameless plug: I developed a similar project that is Web-based (source [1], demo [2]) and supports having multiple connections configured. Both github.com and GitHub Enterprise are supported. Other backends (e.g., GitLab, Azure DevOps) could be added in theory. I started this because at work, we use no less than 2 instances of GitHub Enterprise, in addition to github.com.

It is a client-side application, meaning that it is very simple to host (no backend required).
