Gitlab got this right, Merge Requests are versioned and you can look at the differences between versions of a MR.

It's somewhat amazing and shocking how little the review experience on GitHub has improved over the last 10 years.

Honestly what i want is for github to purchase https://reviewable.io/ and make it native.

Maybe gate sone of the more advanced features behind an opt-in so beginners are not too overwhelmed (and because you probably don’t need them on smaller projects), but the current state of things is just appalling, and more importantly has not at all kept up with workflows on large projects or long / complicated PRs.

The complete lack of support for reviewing over force pushes is insane.
