looking forward to see those changes, particularly on the sidebar, glad to see development is ongoing :-)
About keeping state, I've always wondered if it would be possible to store state via git commits, e.g. via a special branch ".state/reviewable.io" or even another repo - is that doable, assuming the browser would use my identity to post status updates?

Development is definitely ongoing! The high-level changelog is at https://changelog.reviewable.io/ and you can get more granular updates via https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/reviewable-enterpris... (though these releases usually go out a few weeks after the respective changes hit reviewable.io).
Not sure what you mean about putting state in the repo. It's possible of course since you can stuff anything in there, but what would be the advantage? It wouldn't integrate with GitHub any better and it would throw away the real-time updates, queries, etc., available thanks to Firebase.
As for GitHub integration, I agree it's not ideal but it's the best their slightly brain-dead review API will allow. Getting the whole team to adopt the tool is much better, but is obviously quite a bit harder. Though that's probably why I'm seeing a lot more success in the enterprise space, where top-down diktats are par for the course.
