Abstract

In some example implementations, there is provided a method. The method may include generating a first page for presentation at a user interface, wherein the first page further comprises a first portion presenting one or more lines of code being developed and a toolbar portion, wherein the toolbar portion includes a comment element configured to generate a comment window and a propose change element configured to generate a change window; and receiving, in response to the generated first page, metadata including at least one of a comment and a proposed change associated with the one or more lines of code. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also provided.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

generating a first page for presentation of a reviewer view at a user interface, wherein the first page further comprises a first portion presenting one or more lines of code and a toolbar portion, wherein the toolbar portion includes a comment element configured to generate a comment window and a propose change element configured to generate a change window;

receiving, in response to the generated first page and a first selection of at least one of the comment element or the propose change element, metadata including at least one of a comment and a proposed change associated with the one or more lines of code;

forwarding via a social medium a second page for presentation of an author view, wherein the second page further comprises the first portion presenting the one or more lines of code, a first window, and a second window, wherein the first window includes the comment and the second window includes the proposed change adjacent to the one or more lines of code, wherein the first window and the second window include a first element, a second element, and a third element, wherein the first element when selected accepts the comment and/or the proposed change to the one or more lines of code, wherein the second element when selected acknowledges the comment and/or the proposed change, and a third element when selected rejects the comment and/or the proposed change; and

receiving, in response to the generated second page and a second selection of at least one of the first element, the second element, or the third element, additional metadata including information representative of whether the comment and/or the proposed change is being accepted, rejected, or acknowledged,

deleting the metadata and the additional metadata before delivering the one or more lines of code, wherein the generating, the receiving metadata, the forwarding, the receiving additional metadata, and the deleting are implemented by at least one processor.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the comment window includes at least one of a rating, wherein the proposed change comprises an alternative to the one or more lines of code or a textual comment.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the comment window is presented adjacent to the one or more lines of code.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the received metadata identifies the one or more lines of code, the comment, the proposed change, an identity of an originator of at least one of the comment or the proposed change, and an author of the one or more lines of code.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

replacing, when the proposed change is accepted, the one or more lines of code with the proposed change.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including computer code, which when executed by at least one processor provides operations comprising:

generating a first page for presentation of a reviewer view at a user interface, wherein the first page further comprises a first portion presenting one or more lines of code and a toolbar portion, wherein the toolbar portion includes a comment element configured to generate a comment window and a propose change element configured to generate a change window;

receiving, in response to the generated first page and a first selection of at least one of the comment element or the propose change element, metadata including at least one of a comment and a proposed change associated with the one or more lines of code;

forwarding via a social medium a second page for presentation of an author view, wherein the second page further comprises the first portion presenting the one or more lines of code, a first window, and a second window, wherein the first window includes the comment and the second window includes the proposed change adjacent to the one or more lines of code, wherein the first window and the second window include a first element, a second element, and a third element, wherein the first element when selected accepts the comment and/or the proposed change to the one or more lines of code, wherein the second element when selected acknowledges the comment and/or the proposed change, and a third element when selected rejects the comment and/or the proposed change; and

receiving, in response to the generated second page and a second selection of at least one of the first element, the second element, or the third element, additional metadata including information representative of whether the comment and/or the proposed change is being accepted, rejected, or acknowledged,

deleting the metadata and the additional metadata before delivering the one or more lines of code.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6, wherein the comment window includes at least one of a rating, wherein the proposed change comprises an alternative to the one or more lines of code or a textual comment.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6, wherein the received metadata identifies the one or more lines of code, the comment, the proposed change, an identity of an originator of at least one of the comment or the proposed change, and an author of the one or more lines of code.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 further comprising:

replacing, when the proposed change is accepted, the one or more lines of code with the proposed change.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium 6, wherein the comment window is presented adjacent to the one or more lines of code.

11. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory including code, which when executed by at least one processor provides operations comprising;

generating a first page for presentation of a reviewer view at a user interface, wherein the first page further comprises a first portion presenting one or more lines of code and a toolbar portion, wherein the toolbar portion includes a comment element configured to generate a comment window and a propose change element configured to generate a change window;

receiving, in response to the generated first page and a first selection of at least one of the comment element or the propose change element, metadata including at least one of a comment and a proposed change associated with the one or more lines of code;

forwarding via a social medium a second page for presentation of an author view, wherein the second page further comprises the first portion presenting the one or more lines of code, a first window, and a second window, wherein the first window includes the comment and the second window includes the proposed change adjacent to the one or more lines of code, wherein the first window and the second window include a first element, a second element, and a third element, wherein the first element when selected accepts the comment and/or the proposed change to the one or more lines of code, wherein the second element when selected acknowledges the comment and/or the proposed change, and a third element when selected rejects the comment and/or the proposed change; and

receiving, in response to the generated second page and a second selection of at least one of the first element, the second element, or the third element, additional metadata including information representative of whether the comment and/or the proposed change is being accepted, rejected, or acknowledged,

deleting the metadata and the additional metadata before delivering the one or more lines of code.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the comment window includes at least one of a rating, wherein the proposed change comprises an alternative to the one or more lines of code or a textual comment.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the comment window is presented adjacent to the one or more lines of code.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein the received metadata identifies the one or more lines of code, the comment, the proposed change, an identity of an originator of at least one of the comment or the proposed change, and an author of the one or more lines of code.

15. The system of claim 11 further comprising:

replacing, when the proposed change is accepted, the one or more lines of code with the proposed change.
