Thanks for trying it out! And big thanks to Jelte for helping me get
involved in the project.

Out of curiosity, what features would make it most useful to you? Right now
it's trying to do all of the following:
* Summarize threads
* Help you find threads about things you're interested in, independent of
what you've commented on
* Help you find threads that need a review
* Help you find threads to commit, if you're a committer.

I think the UX is a bit confusing right now and it might not be obvious how
to do all of these things. For example,
I think your default view right now is mostly showing you patches you
wrote, which is a bit of an accident (if you
scroll down, you'll see some patches you didn't author, but are probably
relevant to you.)

I think we can fix all of this up in the UX, but my question to you might
be:
* What would a good default view be?
* What filters would be useful to you?
* How could we optimize your patch-review workflow, in general?
