Thanks for calling out that this was inspired by CodeFlow, I kept thinking that as I was reading. Still one of my favorite code review tools, used ~2012.

One of my favorite features was a panel with every comment on the PR, sorted and organized by status. Because all files in the PR were preloaded clicking a comment instantly took you to the specific code and version. So good!

If you click the "Comments ->" link in the meta section on the left nav of the review, it will take you to my version of the comments panel.

A couple improvements I made:

* You can see the whole discussion. The last time I used CodeFlow it only showed one line of the comment which often wasn't enough for me to remember what it was so in practice I always had to click on every single one to see the whole thing. Not a big deal with CodeFlow since it was so snappy as you mentioned.

* It shows a preview of the code that was commented on to provide context.

Thanks for taking a look! Great to see other CodeFlow fans out there.
