There is, try checking out someone else's private repo. You can't :)

(For example, defunkt/github)

Ugh, sorry, that totally passed me. It's fixed and will be up on our next deploy. And I totally support your pedantic off-topic remark, so no worries :)

Sweet. I'm one of the developers :)

Regrettably, the site is moving really slowly. We made this for the Rails Rumble earlier this year, in 48 hours. After that, very little time was devoted to the site, since our "real" jobs keep getting us from hacking on this.

If you have any ideas, however, I would encourage you to go and add them to our support system, at http://help.howsmycode.com -- we don't promise to get them implemented right away, but we will look at them :)

It marks your commit as read to you (ie, it marks commits by email "A" as read to the user who signs in with email "A").

Other people in your team should see them as unread until they actually go and open the diffs.

Hah, actually we have this committed, and will be up on the next push. In any case, we only show the last 5 days of unreviewed changes after an initial import.

You're missing half the fun, then. Part of the point of code reviews (and pair programming is, at its core, extreme code reviewing) is make sure both write the best possible code, both in terms of being bug free and adhering to company standards.

If you don't care about how the code ends up in terms of structure other for the logical errors, you're doing it wrong (well, according to me anyway, so it's not that big of a deal :P)

We built http://howsmycode.com -- We didn't get time to finish the "marketing side", and a couple of big features didn't make it either (we were too ambitious, I think), but we're still happy with the result. And we plan to continue work on it :)

This is probably the biggest disappointment EC2 brought: this kind of stuff should be built into the service :-/

So, thumbs down for Amazon for not providing this basic piece of functionality, and kudos for the developers who are behind this.
