PR#140 - feat: add syntax highlighting to homepageopen

2_/5

Fernando Rojo (nandorojo)Created: 2024-12-24

The pull request introduces syntax highlighting to the homepage using the 'bright' library, which is a useful feature. However, it lacks thorough testing and documentation, as evidenced by the inability to preview changes locally due to missing environment variables. The PR also has unresolved build issues in the preview environment, which further indicates insufficient preparation and testing. While the change itself is not insignificant, these flaws prevent it from being rated higher.

PR#136 - add chained testsopen

4_/5

Crabest (crabest)Created: 2024-12-24

The pull request introduces a significant improvement by adding chained tests, allowing for more flexible test dependencies. This enhances the readability and maintainability of test code, which is a valuable contribution. The discussion in the comments shows active engagement with reviewers and iterative improvements based on feedback, such as renaming functions for clarity. However, while the feature is quite useful, it doesn't represent a groundbreaking change or an exceptionally complex implementation, which is why it doesn't merit a perfect score.
