Planar is a free Chrome extension developed by planar that enhances the code review experience on GitHub. It aims to bring back the best parts of Phabricator while still using GitHub.

With Planar, you can easily navigate stacked pull requests in GitHub, making it convenient to work on multiple branches. The extension also provides a "Needs Attention Inbox" that keeps track of all the pull requests that require your attention. This inbox includes sections like "Needs Attention" and "Waiting For Author," ensuring you never miss an important review.

To make code reviews more engaging, Planar offers a collection of GIFs that you can use to celebrate big wins or add some fun to your reviews. Additionally, within the pull request, you can easily see the changes since your last review and comment anywhere, even outside the changesets.

Planar also focuses on improved code organization. It automatically ranks high-priority changes at the top of your pull request and mimics Phabricator's layout, with the conversation section displayed side by side with the code changes.

One of the best aspects of Planar is that everything is written back to GitHub, so there's no need to convince your entire team to switch platforms. The extension's user experience seamlessly integrates within GitHub, ensuring that your teammates can see your reviews without any additional effort.

If you're tired of the subpar code review experience on GitHub, give Planar a try. It aims to improve the crucial workflow of code review, making it more enjoyable and efficient.
