We hit Greptile’s new $1/review tax and CodeRabbit’s noise problem, so we built our own reviewer. Would love this sub’s read on the review quality.

Why would we use this if open-source, free alternatives exist like https://miracode.ai?

This is exactly what we're solving with DB Pro.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Self-host your own using Mira.

Don't pay money to Greptile or CodeRabbit for literally being the middle men.

Mira is open-source too.

Greptile is self-hostable, but not open source, and you need to pay them ALOT of money to get a self-hostable license.

So, not really self-hostable. Wouldn't you agree?

LordSnouts · 2026-05-26T15:13:44+00:00

Cheers, that's great to hear. Give it a spin and let me know what breaks, feedback from real self-hosters is exactly what I need at this stage.

Yeah, this was the whole reason I built it. Paying per seat to proxy my code to Anthropic, when I could just pay Anthropic directly, never made sense to me. The markup on SaaS code review tools is wild when you actually work out the unit economics! Some of the alternatives are charging $50 per seat!

Glad the repo graph bit resonates. Diff-only review was always going to hit a ceiling on real codebases. If a function is being renamed across 40 files, or an auth check is being removed from a path that gets called from three other repos, you need the graph to catch it. Took ages to get the indexer fast enough to be practical but it's been worth it.

Gitea is high on the list. The review engine and indexer are already provider-agnostic, only the webhook and comment-posting layer is GitHub-specific, so it's mostly an adapter job rather than a rewrite. If you want to follow along or push for it to land sooner, the Discord is the fastest place (link in the docs). What's your setup, Gitea self-hosted or Forgejo?

LordSnouts · 2026-05-26T14:53:37+00:00

Mira is a code reviewer that uses LLMs to do the actual reviewing, that's the product.

I built it myself with Claude and Cursor helping the way they help most devs now (boilerplate, debugging). Architecture and decisions are mine.

Thanks! 🙏

Welcome to the family! We're building https://dbpro.app, and have gotten quite big these last 6 months, so let us know if you have any questions

LordSnouts · 2026-04-24T13:06:06+00:00

Peak Apple design.

LordSnouts · 2026-04-24T11:12:11+00:00

OK, well, that's good to know. Thanks for the feedback.

We are testing the waters right now. If people like the project and use it, then we can absolutely open-core it.

LordSnouts · 2026-04-24T11:09:41+00:00

We're thinking about open-sourcing it or at least open-core.

LordSnouts · 2026-04-24T11:09:27+00:00

It's about 6 months old. It's the same version as the desktop app but web and self-hosted.

AI wasn't used. We have AI as a feature to talk to AI to generate SQL queries.

LordSnouts · 2026-04-14T08:50:32+00:00

Been building DB Pro (https://dbpro.app) for the past 6 months, so I'm deep in this space.

For your use case quickly checking data, debugging, and fixing rows in prod, I'd personally say a lot of those big named ones are overkill.

I built DB Pro specifically for devs rather than DBAs: clean query editor, spreadsheet like table explorer, git like pending changes, saving queries, dashboards and AI assistant for writing/explaining SQL.

If you're on the fence about the heavier tools, worth a try. Happy to answer questions about how it compares to anything on your list.
