  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS

  • stoat-action

    Turn pull request comments into developer dashboards.

  • create-or-update-comment

    A GitHub action to create or update an issue or pull request comment

  • 3. We render this data into a single, templatable PR comment (similar to https://github.com/peter-evans/create-or-update-comment but we aggregate data across build runs using state stored on an external server to avoid race conditions)

    Here are some example PRs using Stoat:

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

    In the near future we're planning on adding more tools so users can compare versions of images and files generated by builds (but not checked in), track custom metrics, track integration tests, and more! Longer term, we're aiming to be a platform for DevTools/DevEx teams building out these types of tools internally. We'll have paid plans for private repo support and some advanced features, but our basic features will always be free for public repos.

    Give it a spin on one of your public repos at https://github.com/stoat-dev/stoat-action#quick-start or check out our docs at https://docs.stoat.dev/

    Let us know what you think! Thanks!
