Pierre is a new, opinionated, git platform.
We are re-building code hosting, code review, and CI primitives from the metal, for the next generation of professional developers: Small, focused teams, working closely, augmented by AI.
Pierre is presented as a new, opinionated git platform. It markets a suite of code-related projects and a writing area around rendering diffs, suggesting a developer-focused platform with project and storage capabilities.
Pierre offers a collection of code-related projects including Code Storage, Diffs, Trees, DiffsHub, and Pierre.co, along with a writing resource on rendering diffs. The site lists these projects with associated URLs, implying a modular platform where users can store code, manage diffs, visualize trees, and explore related tooling, plus a writing section on rendering diffs.
Who it’s for: Developers and engineering teams looking for a git-centric platform with code storage, diff management, and tree visualization features.
Hiring and online status mentioned; open Systems Engineer position listed
Jacob Thornton has been doing software development in the bay area for over a decade, as an early employee at startups like Twitter, Medium, and Coinbase. During this time he contributed to several large open source projects (most notably as the co-creator of Twitter Bootstrap), given talks around the world (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIDb6VBO9os), and written several chapters in technical books (beautiful javascript, if Hemingway wrote javascript).
I have worked for a number of consumer tech companies ranging from Twitter in 2010 to Coinbase in 2018. I started as a backend engineer using Ruby on Rails and then eventually moved up the stack to iOS engineering, React Native engineering and now mostly React. I enjoy hanging out with my cat when not working.
Pierre enables engineers, designers and business team members to discuss new features before they're merged.
Pierre offers a real-time, collaborative code-review platform starting with pull requests, designed to add context, reorganize diffs, and support discussions next to code for engineers, designers, and business team members. It invites sign-ups for a closed alpha and seeks pilot teams of 25–50 engineers, with a referral bonus for paying teams.
