Somewhere, right now, a developer is sorting 400 COBOL cards off a computer room floor after a late night of keying. Nobody wants to look at it. Nobody cares.
But we do.
Announcing code review for Punch Cards, powered by Review Board.

mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-10-08We're an open source #CodeReview and #DocReview product, built for teams of any size (whether 2 people or 200,000).
Review Board works with Git, Mercurial, Subversion, Perforce, Bazaar, Breezy, CVS, ClearCase, Cliosoft SOS, and TFS.
It's extensible, like a browser, letting teams add new features or customize behavior without forking the code. It also provides integrations with many popular team collaboration and CI services.

Code review get discussed as a way to improve code quality. It is, but it's also about helping developers better learn and grow from each other.
What #TIL, skill, technique, or gotcha did you first learn from a code review?
We just released Review Board 7.0.6!
This fixes a major regression in 7.0.5 triggered by a dependency update.
The new releases improve installation across Linux distros, add #Bitbucket API token support, and improve #security and UX.

Remember when we fully owned all our own code?
We used to keep it all in our networks. Accessed only by our teams.
Now it lives on someone else’s servers. Under someone else’s control. Training someone else’s AI.
We’ve traded control for convenience. Consolidated on a few major platforms. Accepted vendor lock-in. Overlooked new innovations.
But this isn't the only way to build.
With #GitHub moving into #Microsoft's CoreAI division, are you sticking around or planning a move?
Most all-in-one products don't focus on code review like we do. If you're planning a move, plan to give Review Board a try.
We offer features nobody else does for helping you build better products, integrate with tools across the industry, keep your code under your control, and we never train AIs from your code.
Review Board 7.0.4 is out now, featuring:
4️⃣ Custom tab stop widths
🔒 New SAML customization and provisioning options
🙋♀️ User API improvements
We've built a new hotbar for your favorite review actions! Customize the buttons you use the most when reviewing.
This is now available in the new RBCommons.com, and will be coming to Review Board 7.1 soon.
Extension authors can build new actions that users can place in the hotbar using Review Board's Actions framework.
We'll be adding new actions to the product over time. What actions would you like to see?
The new RBCommons is live!
This update features Dark Mode, multi-commit reviews, a new-and-improved review experience, dashboard improvements, better code safety, mobile support, image review in diffs, new integrations, and much more.

Can you believe Review Board's 18 years old? The development world was pretty different when we started this, and we really don't want to do the math on our ages.
But here's some math we're happy to do: We're offering 18% off all new Power Pack licenses and support contracts until 2025!
Our way of saying thanks for your support, and hoping you'll help us keep Review Board going for years to come.

Has your team adopted #AI #coding tools? How have they been working out for you?
Are you reviewing that code using AI, people, or a mix of both?
We'd love to hear how this new era of AI-driven #development has impacted your own work.
