Nice idea, especially for organizations where people work with long-living branches.

I'm wondering, shouldn't you then encourage people to create the Pull Request as soon as possible? If the bot works based on PR events, it could be too late if people wait until the last minute to create it.

Interesting to hear you say that as I think you're right and making it more real-time is something I'm working on next. As you say, by the time the PR is up it's too late already but maybe a Slack/IDE notification the moment you create a conflict would be better.

Thanks again for the feedback! H
